Recurring Theme

I was laying down in E's nest in the dining room (we were playing in there). She'd run off to do something and I hear the following:
  • Thud, thud, thud (2 year old running)
  • CRASH (2 year old failing to negotiate a turn)
  • "I'm OK"
It occurs to me suddenly that this has become a constant refrain in my life. I literally think I hear this 2-3 times a day. My wife probably hears it at least twice that often since she's home with the kids all day.
The thing that kills me is the rhythm...it's always the same, very brief, pause then her cute little "I'm OK". Sigh...what did I ever do for entertainment before my kids came along?
