Rocking Chair Scare

Dear Sawyer,

You are a really good eater and will eat whatever I feed you, from turkey and lentils to zucchini and spinach. (You don't like egg yolks and make a face when you eat them, yet you still obediently eat them.) I think you are starting to get sick of your boring pureed foods, though, because tonight, I tried to feed you plain old broccoli while I had a juicy hamburger and you would not have it. You stared at my burger, banged your hand on your highchair tray and cried and when I tried to feed you a spoonful of mashed up broccoli, you angrily turned away and covered your mouth with your hand. Can't say I blame you!

In other news, the recent "It's Monday, so something crappy is going to happen" tradition** continued today when you were almost crushed by the rocking chair in your room. *siiiiiigh* This rocking chair was in GuhGaw's room when he was a baby and was in JieJie's room when she was a baby and had never been a hazard. It's actually designed for nurseries and built in such a way that it's not supposed to tip over. But today while I was doing laundry, you crawled behind it while JieJie was sitting on it. She decided to stand up and look over the top of it to look down on you. Her weight toppled the chair backward and it landed on your teeny, delicate baby foot. Oh my GOD. When I heard the crash and then your hurt cry, I came charging into the room, threw the chair off of you (with JieJie still sitting on it) and swooped you up. You have a bruise on your foot now but you were crawling, standing and walking with assistance normally all day (and trust me, I kept checking), so you are okay. My nerves are obviously not, though--I keep thinking about how it could've ended much worse had the chair landed on your head or your entire body. Thank God you came out of it with just a bruised foot.

Love,
Mom

**Two Mondays ago, JieJie didn't make it to the toilet in time and peed allllllll over the bathroom floor, like several cups worth, after not having any accidents for months. Then last Monday, you vomited on three separate occasions, and you don't usually vomit ever.
