Bruiser gets a boo-boo.

I don't know how well this photo shows it off, but this is my baby's first black-eye. (Everyone say Awhhhh, poor little one!) This was as a result of him climbing on the computer chair (which swivels) and trying to reach something he wasn't supposed to have (the camera). Can you picture that? Since getting this yesterday, he also has a small bruise right smack-dab in the middle of his forehead. Where did he get that one from? We just don't know. This evening he was standing on the stairs, jumping down from the bottom step. I am not quite sure if he was meaning to jump, or if he was trying over and over to walk down the stairs, ya know, instead of the backwards crawl that he normally does to get down stairs. Whatever he was attempting to do, he kept it up about 10 times and finally the novelty wore off. When Josh was a baby, I'd call him my little charm. (You know the saying, the third time's the charm) Now we call him anything from Bam-Bam, Evil Knieval, Crazykid, the brute, or just plain nuts. One thing is for sure, he is a bruiser and I imagine more than one ER visit with him.

Today we took a family trip to Sault Ste. Marie. Not anything unusual, as we go there weekly for groceries and the much needed stop at Walmart. But today we stopped at Burger King for lunch. Why go to the place that we NEVER go to? For the kids meal toy, of course. BK has Transformers in the kids meals and our boys were all about that. The husband and I played it safe and each got a salad. Anything other than that, we were not willing to risk.

My folks are in Yellowstone for the next few days. As of today, they have already seen Elk, donkeys, prairie dogs, and Bison by the dozen. I really hope they see some bears. In my head I was hoping that Mom or Dad could email me some photos and I could post them on here, but there is no internet access in Yellowstone.
