Interesting how fun times and silly moments can go south fast. Colbster is such a silly, fun loving little boy - not sure where he gets that from! ha! Either way he's a true boy in all forms of that word.
And here's the tale of our first bloody wound!!!
Let's just say we started out the weekend with a bang.
Friday:
the little man, who has totally mastered the stairs, not even crawling up them anymore, but instead now opting to walk up holding the railing... same scene as any day on our way up to change a diaper. Only this time Doug decided it was a good day to play hide and seek (spook) with Cman on the stairs. Not sure a good choice on Doug's part, but he's a dog, I suppose reasoning isn't high on the list of intellectual significance. Soooo Colby almost to the top and Doug jumps out from behind our bedroom room (which opens at the top of the steps) and Booo... Totally catches the little guy off guard who proceeds to slip and kaboom. I do believe this would be black eye #2...
do you remember #1? It also was a stairs event.
Fast forward to Saturday evening:
Fun family day. Silly errands. Silly games. Good 'ol fashion family Saturday. Note the silliness in the pictures below! Everyone was having Halloween Buckets of fun - yes, we know Halloween was a month ago, but buckets are still fun. Pretend they don't have the jack-o-lantern face if it really bothers you that much.
Mom and Colby with buckets o fun.
Dad and Colby now with bucket heads. Doesn't quite fit either head correctly!
Doug was even in on the action.
Sure enough...
silly fun bucket head games and blocks on the floor = not a good mix.
What happens next you ask?!
Colbster walking around with a bucket on his head....
Colbster tripping on some blocks...
Colbster falling face first into the coffee table...
Blood spewing from a split lip...
Not a good scene!
So there you have it. Our very first bloody adventure with a son. Boyz will be boyz. Luckily he didn't need stitches and the bleeding stopped pretty quickly, but either way it was an ugly scene and a moment we would all like to replay from a few moments before. I knew I wanted one of those tufted ottomans instead for a reason. Colbster was a trooper, indeed he had cut his lip on the outside on the coffee table and on the inside on his lip, but neither actually went through completely. He sucked on a teether for a while and within 10 minutes had bounced back and wanted to keep playing bucket head games - he certainly seemed less rattled than we were.
Note: we did not repeat any bucket head games and have no plans to in the future!
So a little while of quiet time and some puzzles and books and he was exhausted from a fun days of wild events.
SOooo about 2 weeks ago our son looked like he had been bullied, beat up and run ragged - grrrrrrreat just in time for a family wedding the following week. No there is no need to call the Dept of Child and Family Services... he's just a busy boy and we love him just the way he is - bruised, bloody and blonde!
