Growing Pains

I've been worried about Emma lately. Her equilibrium is off. She'll be standing in the living room, not really doing anything special, and suddenly be on the floor, having fallen down. And this doesn't just happen once or twice, but all day long - maybe 15 times a day. What ??? Did she wake up one morning super clumsy? So I was talking to Eric about it, and he said that she must be growing taller. I hadn't even thought about that, but I think he's right (don't tell him I said that). It makes perfect sense too. Of course it would take some adjusting if you're suddenly taller. Your balance would need some tweaking. And no laughing from you moms out there who are thinking 'duh' at my apparent lack of intuition and knowledge. I bet you were all as dumb as me once.... way back in the day.... maybe. :) Anyway, it puts a new spin for me on the phrase "growing pains" when you are actually falling down bumping yourself on corners and shelves and toys etc. Poor girl hasn't got a prayer of coming out of this one unscathed.
