Bump


Yesterday, Kimball was sitting on the steps outside of our apartment. He was throwing me a ball and I would hand it back to him. He was having SUCH a good time, and laughing his head off. All of a sudden, I turned around to see and hear his poor little face hit the concrete steps--SMACK! I caught him before he could fall down any more stairs. Today, here are the results:

(click to enlarge that nasty bruise around his left eye)

My stomach hurts and I feel so guilty when I recall that image of him falling. He bawled and bawled for a good five minutes, and then I had to leave for work. I was worried about him (concussion?), but Jordan said he had a great evening, a fun bath, and was laughing his head off by the time he went to bed.

Add this to his first skinned elbow, and we've got a real big boy on our hands!

Edit:
This morning after Kimball's nap, he bonked his other cheek and eye on the corner of a table. I'm not sure if you can see, but his cheek is all red. Poor baby.

Poor guy! Unfortunately, it's the price of being human and growing up. He still looks cute with his injuries, though, and now he can get a lot of sympathy too.

Ow, ow, owieeeeee! Sweet little thing! Like you, it makes my stomach hurt to even see the pictures. And yes, I can see the redness on Kimball's other cheek from round 2. This reminds me so much of the time I accidentally dropped you on the hard pavement of the parking lot while getting you out of your car seat. I still shudder at the thought.

Give Kimball a great big kiss and love from me!!!

Poor little guy! I think I would have cried for a lot longer than five minutes, so he must be pretty tough!

His hair's getting so long. I love the video of him climbing up and sliding down the mattress. Isn't it amazing that could keep a kid entertained for hours?!
