aarrgghhh! it's finally happened. i'm officially a neglectful mother.

percy rolled off the bed today.

as everyone says- "i only turned away for a second!" in actual fact i probably didn't have my eyes on her for five or six seconds. she was comfortably sitting in the centre of our bed playing with some toys. i was looking in a cupboard for something, next instant; "thud!" i've never moved around that bed so fast! i scooped her up and said excitedly- "well that was different wasn't it!" i was frantically trying to distract her whilst checking for broken limbs, bruising, floppy bits, any sign of damage. thankfully there didn't appear to be any. she also didn't seem half as bothered as i was- not a cry, not a tear, not even an exclamation. she landed on hands and knees which probably meant she didn't knock her head and therefore wasn't hurt. (is she part cat?- we were contemplating that the new ability to click her tongue means she's part dolphin; are there other animals present?) she carried on just fine and is now having her afternoon nap. she generally has a good sleep on friday afternoons because the swimming class in the morning means her morning sleep is short, added to the excitment and adventure of the class she's pretty tuckered out come the afternoon. of course if she sleeps really well i'll probably just panic again thinking it's a response to the fall and that i've irrepairably hurt her.

lesson learned; she really is getting pretty mobile what with rolling and squirming and stretching, i can't assume she'll be fine and i ought to be more diligent.
yes, your honour, it will never happen again (until the next unforeseen calamity), please give me my daughter back.
