DD is clumsy but she forgets when she's growth spurted and falls over randomly. It's always up the stairs lol. She will only cry if she hits her ear cartilage but that freaking hurts. When DD growth spurts it's always by a good 3 cms or such so a little to adjust to. I take her to the dr just to get her ears checked every 6 or so weeks to make sure not an ear infection.
