Minor Road Rash



Cooper thinks he's bigger than he is, or older anyway. He always tries to keep up with the big boys at the park, and he's usually pretty good at it. It's way more fun to play big kid games and climb on the big playground equipment than the completely safe little kid stuff. He's had to be rescued a few times part way up a ladder when the rungs are too far apart for him to reach, but he keeps trying just in case he grew the necessary inches since last week. Today he was running his little heart out chasing some facinating imaginary creature with his friends when that darn shoelace tripped him up. Luckily he was on a texturized rubber surface rather than concrete, so instead of splitting his head open, we just get cool red sopts on his forehead. Park days are becoming more adventurous... but they also always prove to be fabulous nap days!

Your title cracks me up! My sista #4, anna lives in MN. There is no where for her 21 month old to RUN -snow galore and cooped up. SO, she will take him to target & let him run the isles till he poops out! I think this is pretty smart of her;)
I mean, she's already pushing a cart full of goodies she's going to buy, so I don't think they stand out TOO much -running ;)
cute pix! -ciao

poor little guy. It's so awful to watch them fall. Ryley always looks at ME after she falls to find out if SHE'S ok. I remember being little and always being mostly ok until I saw my mom or dad. Then I would lose it a little.

I'm glad he's ok. :)

It is certainly sad, but love how you said they "prove to be fabulous nap days". When my kids hurt themselves I can always count on that. Way to see the good.

Hey, you gotta love those naps. Cooper sure is a cutie, even with the road rash.
