Rough morning

By noon, Dane had two separate incidents requiring band-aids to his forehead. The big yellow one in the center is covering a pretty good scrape that he got while running down the stepping-stone path in our back yard to talk to Daddy. He tripped and didn't catch himself before his forehead hit the corner of one of the stones. He immediately started crying for Mommy to kiss it, not understanding that we needed to wipe off lots of blood before I could do that! After that incident was resolved, he was helping Daddy do some yard work in our front yard and got too close to the palm tree. One of its spines poked the side of his forehead and caused some pretty good bleeding for a while. Once again, Mommy had to wash off lots of blood so that she could kiss it better.

He is definitely his Daddy's boy! The evening before Mike and I got married, Mike's sister gave us a first-aid kit. With it, she told the amusing stories that went along with many of the scars he carries from all his childhood mishaps!

Things are looking up this evening. Here is Dane out watering our flowers. Maybe this is why he is growing so fast- he seems to get more water on himself than the flowers!
