Grace-ful?

I knew as soon as I named our daughter "Grace" she was going to be me all over. Yep, she's the clumsy one. Almost daily we wake up to a new bump, bruise or scratch somewhere on her little body. How do you do this in a CRIB?!? Either way...while we were in Ohio she tripped and fell (yes, she's almost completely walking now) into my parents end table and got a nice looking bruise on her cheek. It could have been WAY worse (there was a metal outlet right next to where she fell that would have done more than bruising) so I was just glad that she hit the lesser of the two evils. None the less, it is a reminder that "graceful" she is not. BUT, through it all...all the falls and trips she makes, I like the way my mother-in-law put it best. She might not be graceful physically, but she is VERY graceful in the aftermath. She almost never cries or fusses when she falls! She is such a sweet little girl.
