16 Weeks 6 Days old


   I almost ended the day without being an ass.  Then I dropped my daughter.  Well… not really dropped per se, but we were practicing sitting and she fell over.  And bonked her chin right on mom’s hard shin bone. 
   Immediately after there was a 2 second pause followed by a great deal of screaming/crying.  It didn’t help that it was right before feeding time.
   I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later.  I think I even mentioned it here months ago along with a link to a video of dads hurting their kids. 
   I guess as far as bonks go, this one wasn’t that bad.  Still no emergency room visit yet… (*knock knock*) and she’s almost 4 months old.  That’s a streak I’d like to keep until.. oh, her 30th birthday or so.
   I’m sure it will happen again.  And I will mention it here when it does for all the world to see.  Does writing about it make me as much of an ass as the act of inadvertently causing pain and discomfort?  Or does letting the dog lick her make me more of an ass?
