The Return of the Lump...

So, Tyler took a spill today. Went headfirst into the banister post:

I say "return of the lump" because when we were up in Vermont, he took a spill in the hotel room and hit his head on the leg of a chair. He got a nice big lump and bruise in the middle of his forehead, and also a nice cut about 1/4 of an inch from his right eye (if you look closely, you can probably see the bruise in the picture of him eating the ice cream in the previous post about the trip). Well, today he hit his head in almost the exact same spot - when the previous bruise had just barely gone away! Thankfully this time there is not cut near the eye.

This fall was obviously just an accident, but the kid is a daredevil to the nth degree! He'll climb on anything, pull chairs and tables over - we've had to remove half the furniture from our living/dining room area. We finally had to gate off the kitchen because he can climb up onto our counter high kitchen table and chairs, and he was scaling the front of the stove! But this evening was the kicker. I looked up from making dinner in the kitchen and saw him standing on the arm of the rocking chair, ready to launch himself over the railing of the stairs (going down)! So now, we've had to remove the rocking chair from the room. Sorry Mimi... Pretty soon, the room will just be filled with pillows. I imagine he'll find some way to make that dangerous too...

That's what little boys are made of....
