Please don't be mean. DD was being supervised by 3 adults when this happened.

DD (2) fell backwards off a climbing frame this morning. She didnt fall very fast as the ladder broke her fall a bit but she did flip over and landed on her front.

Climbing frame is about a meter / meter and a half off the ground.

She cried immediately and there wasn't a scratch on her.

She was fine once she stopped crying and ate lunch and played normally.

She went out scooting with daddy and DS this afternoon and all was well.

Suddenly in the park she stopped kicking the football and sat down crying. Daddy noticed a blister from some new shoes so assumed it was that.

Since she got home she's refused to put any weight on her feet. She's said both her foot and knee hurts. She's been upset and sad and made these horrible little squeaks when picked up. She's never made a sound like that.

We really don't know if it's the fall or the blister that is hurting her so much.

What do we do? It seems a lot for a blister but what if she did hurt herself from the fall?

glad she's well

She did sound just plain very tired & any minor thing was going to derail her at that point

Glad she’s more herself this morning.

If she’s been in the wars a lot recently it could be that she’s getting ready for quite a growth spurt. Children grow from the extremities towards their core (are the new shoes a bigger size?) amd when this is happening they can seem a bit clumsy as although it’s just by millimetres, none of their body is where they remember it being if that makes sense
