Head banger

When Liem was about 3 months old, Khiem and I accidentally dropped the phone receiver on his head one night. ARGH! Liem cried (of course!) but luckily he was feeding at the time so after a few minutes he went back to feeding and forgot all about it. I have been secretly worrying that we've made him stupid by doing that.

Well, I'm not worried anymore. Yesterday Liem was on his tummy on the carpet, holding his head up very high....when he dropped his head HARD back down on the carpet. I heard the conk sound, thought oh oh...then WAAAAAAAA! Consoled him for a few minutes, put him back down and what does he do? He does it AGAIN! Whacks his forehead hard on the carpet. He's got a red spot on his forehead now. We were at mother's group and I was telling the other mothers about his head-banging antics when he did it again - this time on the wooden floorboard! What with banging his head on the side of the cot, on the side of the playpen and knowing how long it takes for him to learn not to do it again....if he does become stupid, it's his own fault!!!
