Annika got her first shiner this week.  It happened in her karate class.  I guess when you have a half-dozen toddlers wielding nunchuks, something is bound to happen.  You should see the other kid.

In an unrelated event, Annika moved into her first “big-girl” bed this week.  No more nights in the Pack-n-Play.  Her first night in the new bed, she reminded her parents that she has a tendancy, while sleeping, to sit up and then fall forward.  This tendancy did not fit well with the hard wooden frame of her new bed.  So, now her big-girl bed features extra padding, too.
