I am begining to think that Kaleb is my "aware" child gone "accident" child. Just last year he was so aware of his surroundings. Scared of everything that could or seemed like it could cause him potential danger/harm! He seemed so calculated in his stepping, how he held things, how he played, all trying to make sure nothing hurt him! But I think that we can officially say that that phase is over - because now, he trips, stumbles, falls, and runs into everything!!!! Sometimes on purpose, sometimes on accident! lol...I have always scrapped his little "boo boo's" with funny little notes commenting on them, and this is no different:
A couple days ago, Kaleb and his little friend Sy were outside playing. Sy is a little younger than Kaleb but he is very unafraid and Kaleb tries his best to keep up. Sy and Kaleb were walking on this little (maybe 12 inch) cement curb by the end of our yard (not in the road!) like a balance beam! Next thing I know I see Sy jump off and roll down the hill into the yard, Kaleb went to do the same and caughthis flip flop on the ledge and ran his shin down the whole curb. :( He got up quickly and seemed ok, but when he looked down to see how his leg was, he lost it! He started crying and running/limping over to me, screaming he hurt himself. I have to admit, of all the boo boo's this one was the hardest to see him get. He had the most pitiful look on his face and was so concerned that he just got his first "big boy boo boo". I picked him up and carried him to the couch to rest his battle wound! I bent over and spoke to Kaleb trying to make a bad moment for him a little better. Once I had him giggling, I ran to get my camera to take a picture of him! Here is the boo boo:
