Really, I don’t know what’s come over me. I seem to be particularly clumsy lately…
Just now, while simultaneously nursing the baby and drinking coffee, she manages to do one of her famous acrobatic moves by arching her back, stretching her chubby little legs, and swinging her arms, thereby nearly knocking my coffee onto her face.
Luckily, coffee was only lukewarm, and only a drop ended up on her onsie. She never noticed, but now she smells like coffee and I have more laundry to wash.
Then there was this other situation yesterday. I was heating up a little bowl of baby food and when I took it out of the microwave, it managed to slip from my hands, do a flip through mid air, and land upsidedown on the floor several feet away. In the process, it spilled its orange contents everywhere. And I mean everywhere….walls, stove, babyseat, table legs, dog dish, my pants…Even this morning I’m noticing spots of strained carrot and sweet potato in places I never thought to clean yesterday, like on the Brita container, or the top inside part of a cupboard, which must have been slightly ajar at the time.
My biggest fear is that I’ll trip over an open can of paint during my never-ending basement renos….
So far, no damage has come of child, dog, self or property.
