Laowai

Claire collided into a wall today while she was riding her Bobby Car. It was pure Claire. We were on our way back from the park and the path dips down to go under the train tracks. She was zooming down pretty fast and it was making me nervous. She jerked her little steering wheel so she was swirving back and forth. Of course she was giggling the whole time. She’s an adrenaline junkie. By the time she got to the bottom of the hill (I promise it’s not a huge hill at all) she was blissfully out of control. The low point of the path was filled with a layer of mud because we had some heavy rain last night. She crashed into the wall and landed on her face and when she sat up her whole face and one side of her body was covered in black mud. After only a couple minutes she calmed down and she seemed OK. 

I gave her a bath as soon as we got home and I checked her over. She’s fine but it’s not pretty. And of course she has a check-up next Monday.

Oh Claire E. – you are going to give your Mommy a heart attack.
