Graceful

Before I had Lily, I thought my children would all be similar to Miriam. While Lily certainly has things in common with Miriam, she is so different. One area it is very apparent is gracefulness. Miriam has always been graceful and had good balance. She is great at gymnastics and learned to ride a bike early. Lillian was not blessed with this. .Of course, this does not stop her from trying everything because she is also fearless. Miriam has always been more timid. Lillian is my child that I think we will be making emergency room visits for broken arms, deep cuts, etc. On Friday, she had one of those days where every time I turned around she was getting hurt. She fell and burned her bottom on our space heater in the bathroom, she fell down some stairs, scraped a leg (don't know how that happened), and that night went fishing and got a hook caught in her calf. Yesterday, her face hit a spring on the trampoline and she has a mark. Then last night, she woke up shaking and wouldn't stop. She did have a fever, but I hate it when they do things that are out of character. It really scares me and Lily has done several of these really weird things since she was born. Lily is very tough also. Most of these things don't even phase her. I worry so much about her making it to adulthood. I feel like I have to watch her like a hawk. I just hope this next baby is a bit more mild mannered. I don't think I can handle 2 Lily's.
