Last sunday, D was putting up the snow-light-tree in our frontyard, which we had bought on after-xmas-sale last year. C was coming into the way all time while we tried to assemble the tree. C would pull the leg of the tree, and then the light and if we dont look would take the scissors that D used to unpack the tree. After repeated "orders" that she stop fiddling around, C managed to hurt her palm with the tree leg and started wailing. We told her that that was the reason we were telling her not to fiddle. She stopped crying in 2 minutes, and started her fiddling again.
The weather was quite pleasant, and I let C be in the Sun and walk around in the front driveway while we were erecting the tree outside in our front yard. C was quite elated with her new found freedom and the open air, et al, and started running here and there. As long she was running perpendicular to the drive way ramp, she was fine, but when she started trying that along the drive way, she didnt calculate the slope and made adjustment to it. C came tumbling down, and did a roll - like a slip fielder - and in a quick instant, I went around and behind her line of movement, so that, I could atleast stop her from keep rolling down. (We had seen people falling off or rolling off snow and ice the day before on the Discovery Channel!) But C managed to stop herself with just one roll. Luckily, she didnt have any scratch (from the concrete drive way!) and was fine.
