Poor Daddy...

http://willowtree.info/product/new-life
Here is a picture of the beautiful figurine my parents gave us when Emily was first born. It has sat on our coffee table for 13 months, until Emily was more adept at finding things in the house to play with that aren't "toys". For the past 2 months, this lovely couple and their baby who are sharing a quiet moment admiring their new baby have been thrown and knocked off the table innumerable times. They have fared extremely well throughout all this toddler torment....until today.
Maybe it was the couple just saying, "this is enough, we can't take any more abuse", or maybe it was the increased strength our 16 month-old has when throwing. Regardless, the statue is no more, and literally speaking, "Daddy has lost his head". I hope this isn't foreshadowing the state of Emily's father when he holds his second child in his hands and realises life is gonna move a lot quicker.
Here is our figurine, as it looks, post-Emily-shot-putter-extraordinaire....
