Girls and Their Hats

LIESEL likes her hats.

 She picks this and the pink pail up whenever they are within reach and puts it on her head. She doesn't need to wear it anylonger, but she will occasionally put the ThudGuard on her head too. And sometimes she just decides that EJ is not fully dressed without a hat, so she will try to put one on his head!

Now that the weather has become consistently cool, they are spending more time in their footed pajamas. These do not provide much traction on the hardwood floor. So they both slip and slide a lot thereby increasing the chance of a bad fall. The shoes help as does being barefoot. Dad now thinks part of Buggy's problem with falling was a traction problem. The ThudGuard helped, but ultimately she needed better traction to stay up right. Her desire to walk on her toes contributes to it too.

Fatigue contributes too. When she is tired she falls more frequently.

Still, when she falls she does not protect her head like Buddy does. He tucks and roles. She just goes splat on her head, face, whatever.
