Does your kid fall a lot when tired?

[iamgrace]

Or is there something wrong with mine?

[cereal K]

Mine is substantially more stumbley and prone to falling when tired. She looks like a little drunk.

For what it's worth, I fall down a lot more when I am tired, and I'm 34.

[zarapipe]

Definitely. She also runs into things more.

[copperboom]

Yes. My daughter is 4, and she doesn't slow down when she's tired. She just falls and runs into things a lot.

[snickers]

Lots of toddlers & preschoolers do this, totally normal!

[jaylea]

Yes. Mason was stumbling around like he was hammered last night. They get clumsy.

[lolly]

LOL yes. One of mine always has a little bruise on his forehead because he hasn't quite mastered the whole idea of catching himself when he falls.

Yes. It also happens when she's growing, which is right now. She's a total clutz, but suddenly wants to climb everything and my nerves are shot.

Why is she tripping over her own feet so much?! Did I shrink all her dresses?

Yes, DD who is already accident prone is more clumsy when tired. And she cries easier too.

When David was younger, absolutely. He still gets clumsy when tired.

LOL I fall down a lot when I'm tired.

Mine gets super clumsy when he's tired. That is pretty much how we know it's nap time, because he just tripped over nothing.

Tired = drunk. I remember hearing that driving while tired is basically driving while drunk. Don't know if that was from a reliable source though!

Actually, I've been in recovery for years!
