Since Amelia has been a few months old and learned to grasp at stuff she has been battling me. She has been attacking my watch, Jawbone UP, eye glasses, chain, hair, nose, chin. She goes after pretty much anything she can grasp at. After loosing weight and getting rid of any double chin I had i was surprised when she grabbed a bunch of skin on my chin and yanked. Not fun. I seriously need to watch out for her to ensure i don’t get my eyes gouged out. She is happy about the whole thing, so i am glad she is enjoying herself.
Last week she added to her head count of fatalities and destroyed my chain. I got the simple gold chain from my parents for my Bar Mitzvah and have been wearing it every day since i was maybe 17. Amelia has been attacking it for some time but finally was successful at pulling it off my neck. It was the 2nd time she did this. The first time the chain came off at the clasp so after i found the coin that goes on the chain i was able to start wearing the chain again. This time Amelia just yanked the chain and broke one of the links. This time i was able to find the coin and chain before it got lost. Last time I was panicking for a day till i found the coin in the girls room.
Today I dropped the chain off at a jewelry store to get fixed. They said it wasn’t a big deal to fix so i am happy by that. I am pondering looking for something a bit stronger until Amelia is a bit older and won’t destroy this one again.
This whole event reminded me why I wear an old pair of glasses when i get home after work or during the weekends. They are not as comfortable as the ones i normally wear but much more resistance to child attacks.
