On Saturday, Ben and I were outside enjoying the sunshine and playing on the sidewalk when he crashed and burned big time. He had been having a good 'ol time pushing around a little toy lawn mower when he pushed it off a ledge of the sidewalk and onto the concrete platform at the base of our stairway. He didn't realized it was such a big drop, missed his footing, and ate it face first into the platform hitting the bottom stair (which is also concrete) with his face as he fell. I think it scared him half to death so he cried pretty good at first but it didn't take long for him to recover his bearings and realize that there was more playing that needed to be done. Thankfully when he fell, he missed hitting his eye and nose real hard so that helped limit the pain and blood. We took a couple photos intending to share the war-wounds, although neither photo turned out very well so it's kinda hard to see that nearly the entire left side of his face was a raspberry. We are such proud parents - our boy is growing up!
