Falling...falling...falling

Hello Everyone,

It's me, Belle. I wanted to tell you all about my eventful morning, because it has never happened from such a high height. I was sitting on my lovely changing table playing with my Butt Paste when the most horrible thing happened. I dropped my Butt Paste and thought "Hey!! I need that!". Now Mommy was putting the last of my clothes in my bag so that I can go see Uncle Bill and Aunt Linda in Colorado tonight, so she was a little busy at the moment and I decided to be the big independent girl that I am now (please see previous letter to Mommy and Daddy below for further explanation) and take the initiative to get it myself. So, I started to get down off the changing table the way Mommy and Daddy taught me to get off the couch - backwards. The next thing I knew, I had flipped off the changing table and was hanging by one arm like a monkey!! Then, I fell all the way to the ground and landed on my back. AND let's not forget that I hit my chin on the way down!! Poor Mommy watched it all in slow motion and couldn't catch me. She ran over and scooped me up and we both just cried and cried and cried.

Let's just get it out there that I am okay. My chin hurts a little, but really I am no worse for the wear. Now, I know in my previous letter to Mommy and Daddy that I told them I did not need their help. Perhaps I should retract that statement and concede that I still need their help on a limited basis. However, that is as far as I am willing to admit that I need help. I am still a confident, independent woman who also needs her mommy and daddy.

Most sincerely,
Princess Belle
The Princess of Quite A Lot

What is it with our girls? Haylee decided that she wanted her booster seat to be a rocking chair last night and made it fall sideways right on her arm. We were terrified that it was broken but thankfully she just ended up with an ugly bruise and lots of tears (Both Haylee and mommy).
I'm glad Belle is ok. They seem to bounce back quickly and I think it's us mom's that cry the most. Give her a big hug and kiss for us and tell her to be more careful!! Love you guys.
