Cuts, Bruises and Scrapes Oh My!
I often wonder if there is a clumsy gene. If there is we have it and it started with me. My two daughters got it from me, poor things. Alicia, who is now 23 had it much worse. We were at doctors and emergency rooms so often that I feared that I might be getting a visit from child protective services because of all of the injury claims. Thank goodness our doctor understood that Alicia would fall over her own feet, walk into walls and trip over nothing. It was scary and I did all I could do to see if there were problems with her eyes or if she mobility issues.
She was fine, just clumsy. When Samantha came along, it was the same thing. She would fall and get hurt more often than other children. With her, she didn’t end up injured that badly that we would be at the doctors or hospital, but we did consider buying stock in band aids.

Now if we were greedy people, my husband and I could attempt to get some money from a Personal Injury Claim when one of our daughters got hurt in a public place. Knowing the history of our children we wouldn’t put the blame on anyone else for their injuries.
One thing that we’ve learned is that we purchase shoes and sneakers that are safe to try to prevent more injuries for Samantha. Alicia is doing much better now that she is older. I am too, but I do have my moments.
