Busted!

After all the “dangerous” things she tries and does she fell over whilst running at school, landed on her arm and bust it. Booger. 

Update: I forgot to include that whilst trying to be light hearted in response to Bea telling me about her break I clearly went too far as she fairly quickly admonished me with, “Daddy please can you be more serious about this“!

And the morning after as I was preparing to leave for work she woke and explained it hurt sometimes but it was repairing itself on other times. I was allowed to draw something on the cast so have added my scribbles to the images below. 

Another first… for more than just Bea… Roller blading!

As an Xmas present Bea received some wonderfully pink roller blades. Yet more perfectly they are the same make as knee, elbow and (as yet unused) wrist protectors we bought for cycling. So with Bea super keen to get to use them out of doors, it somehow seemed appropriate for me to purchase some Daddy sized blades and have a go myself! 

I have a sneaky feeling that Bea was doing better than me as I was being quite slow and tip toed about back in the same car park where we learned to cycle all those months ago. 

See for yourself. The first video is early on in the session. The second video is 30mins later and you can clearly see how fast her confidence has grown, despite the crash at the end. You’ll be pleased to hear she got up, we brushed her down, made her laugh, and off she went again. 🙂

We went for a dog walk and the end of the day was just stunning. The long shadows were wonderful walking across the last field, so after some normal shots we took some photos of a “four armed monster”!! 

Couple of photos that were rather nice:
