Another Day, Another Bump

I swear I either need to bubble wrap the kid or keep him in a cage! He is on a roll this weekend. Today started off nice, we blew bubbles outside and played on the swingset for a long time. It was damp outside because it had been raining off and on all morning, so the bubbles were sticking to the ground and not bursting when they hit it.

Colin found this fascinating and would blow some bubbles, then go around and pick them all up on his wand and blow them around again. Then he decided to blow them just to stomp on them, because he could.


After blowing bubbles Colin wanted to draw with the sidewalk chalk. Then he wanted me to draw with the chalk. He made very specific requests and there were a lot of Mommy and Baby dinosaurs and Mommy and Baby snakes.

We wrote messages to Daddy and traced our bodies, which Colin thought was hysterical.

Then we came inside for lunch. Colin doesn't like his high chair but cannot sit still on the couch long enough to eat. Today he was bouncing around on the couch and playing while eating his food. Sure enough he finally got too big for his britches and fell into the table while bouncing around. We have a coffee table that the top raises up and the top was up so we could eat on it. Well he fell into it and the top went down and then he went down onto the corner of the table face first. He hit HARD and I was waiting for the blood. Thankfully it just bruised the crap out of him and barely broke the skin, more of an indentation that anything. He got a huge goose egg, the pictures don't do it justice, they were taken too soon after before it really popped out and turned color.

Poor kiddo looks like a mess. Between the busted up eye and the knot on his head...good thing I wasn't trying to have pictures taken anytime soon. The child has a death wish and he's gonna give me a heart attack!
