Some nights I look at my legs and wonder what happened. Then I recall the events of the weekend and I remember that they were run over by the bulldozer named Niko. I wouldn’t say that my son is wilder than any other 3-year-old boy, but wow. I didn’t know that little boys had 15 knees and 10 elbows until recently.Honestly, I didn’t really care that I was all beaten up until the weather started to turn nice again. The first warm day in March I pulled out one of my favorite skirts (that still fit) and looked down. Nice shins… it looks like I have been beaten with a stick. I would love to say it was from all the Taekwondo training I have been doing, but it’s from a little man that likes to jump into my lap and climb all over me.One of my most vulnerable times has to be on the weekends… during my treasured naptime. I will be honest… I love napping on the couch. I have a bed, but there is nothing like a nap on the couch in my book. The bad thing is that my son loves climbing on the back of the couch and sliding down the front onto waiting prey. So… I have learned to nap with my knees up. He landed on my pointy knees a few times and miraculously, that little game stopped.I did have a scare earlier this week. DH and I switch off reading duty at bedtime so Thursday night was my turn to read to Niko. I climbed into bed with him and started reading to him when he wanted to help me turn the page and he planted a hard hand on my belly. He didn’t mean anything, he’s just really heavy-handed.I told my mom about it and she said that happened to her when she was pregnant with both my sister and brother. She joked that we could sense someone was baking in her belly about to take away all of our toys. She told me not to worry too much about it; she said that is why you balloon out so fast the second time. She said it’s not for the baby’s comfort, but to shield the baby from its loving siblings.That made me laugh to tell you the truth, but we started to tell Niko that he has to be careful around mommy’s belly from now on. We really hadn’t been talking to Niko much about the baby since I am not really that big yet, but I guess we need to start talking up the upcoming baby… so Niko doesn’t crush him/her.Hopefully operation ‘Save upcoming baby from big brother’ is a success!
