Bumps and Bruises

Kids get hurt. I get it. Boys will be boys. I get it. Bumps and bruises are all part of growing up. I get it. I have to keep repeating these phrases to myself over and over because as of today I have received three calls from Mike's daycare this week informing me of a new bump or bruise. Bump and bruise #1: Tuesday afternoon Mike was running across his classroom and fall onto a very large lego (see picture below). Bump and bruise #2: Mike was running across his classroom and fell onto a block (resulting in a small red line above the lego bruise). Bump and bruise
#3: Mike was running across the room with another little boy and ran into something creating a bruise on the side of his eye. Do we see a theme here? You think I can stop my toddler from running everywhere? Yeah, I didn't think so either. So for the foreseeable future I will keep chanting, "boys will be boys", "kids get hurt" and "bumps and bruises are all part of growing up."

Dancing

This video may not be that exciting for anyone (except for maybe my family). But I find it entertaining and as it is my blog, I can post what I want so here it is.

Little Helper

During a recent thunderstorm a portion of our fence blew over. Due to Brad's crazy schedule and having a toddler underfoot, fixing it has been a slow process. Last Sunday (when Brad was postcall again) we were able to make a little progress. Thankfully we had Mike around to supervise the process.

Magic House

On Sunday some friends came into town and we decided to take all the kids to the Magic House. The Magic House is St. Louis' premier children's museum and the kids in our group (ages 14 months, 2.5 and 5) absolutely LOVED it. Below are some pictures from our adventures.

Music

Mike was not enjoying Brad's selection of music.
