In the wars

Rosemary is walking and running about more and more. We're quite often taking her out without the buggy now and, to a large extent, whether or not we use the buggy is often more down to how much shopping we need to buy. However, this increased activity, mobility and independence has a downside in the form of lots more bumps and bruises. So far this week, she has suffered:

• a splinter (and the far more painful and traumatic attempts by her parents to remove said splinter)
• grazed knees
• a cut/graze on her heel (from wearing her shoes without socks far too often in the hot weather)
• a very nasty graze/bruise on her eye and cheek from falling over when walking up the path to the front door and landing on the step.

I think we need to add a first-aid kit to the nappy materials kept in the rucksack!
