A Little Bit Tipsy

Our dear daughter falls about 20x/day. Since Adam analyzes balance control, he is horrified by how she can just fall down with seemingly no reason. He has put her on a regimine of walking on a board for balance, standing on one foot, putting eye covers on her eyes to increase the neuropathways of the sensors in her feet. However, surprisingly, she does great and appears to have fine balance. It seems that she just does not LOOK where she is going EVER and also can't sit still (example: while trying to grab a kleenex, she spun in a circle three times doing the task). Not sure how to help her with these things besides maybe setting up obstacle courses at this point. All I know is on her 16th birthday, the girl will be only getting a tiny box with a nice set of bus passes in it.

However, it appears that Adelaine is not the only one tipsy in our house. We have definitely had our share of 3buck-chuck wine the last couple months while we were waiting the location of our upcoming move, but thought we hadn't overdone it. However, I had to rethink that after I had seen Lukas' attached drawing (that I found hung up in Lukas' room): He drew a table, a lamp and ....a fine, glass of red wine. Oops. Not sure that one is going to school for "Show and Tell Friday".

btw - a note for our parents who may be concerned about our actual level of consumption - it was only about 1 bottle a week. It is too cheap of a wine to NOT partake in it that much. It just wouldn't be economical if we stopped. Please don't ask us to go against our consciences and responsibility as a citizen. :)
