Poor Sydney...

Mom feels terrible. Mom REALLY wanted a shower this afternoon. It's really tough with a walking baby in the house. She normally either showers while Sydney sleeps or has Lydia watch Sydney while she showers. However, this afternoon, Lydia was at a friend’s house, Sydney wasn’t tired, and Mom really wanted to go out to dinner without her hair looking like she just got of the pool. There is a playpen in the house, but Morgan likes to dive in with Sydney, and Mom worries about the risk of it tipping.

Therefore, against her better judgment, Mom looked at Seth today and said, “you’re a big kid now. I need you to help me. You have to watch Sydney while I shower.” He was practicing cartwheels in the living room. Mom also said, “whatever you do, make sure Sydney isn’t in the way when you do a cartwheel."

A few minutes later, she heard screaming coming from Sydney. It turns out that Seth did listen. He told Morgan (who weighs 30 pounds) that she had to move Sydney (who weighs 20 pounds) so he could do more cartwheels. Morgan carried Sydney across the room and dropped her on the edge of a table. Sydney now has a scraped bloody nose for her first birthday next week. She's ok other than that though.
