Get yourself one of these.
Poor little man was walking into Costco when he tripped over his own little feet and plummeted into the pavement. Good thing his forehead broke his fall.
This happens all the time.
Of course we were on our way into Costco, and me being the overly prepared mother I am (gawk) I didn't have my "customary" first aid kit with me. (Really, with our track record, I should consider not only traveling with a first aid kit, but our own personal medic)
So there we go, waltzing into Costco with a bloody and screaming child. I quickly make my way back to the bathroom to clean up the whole mess. Cooper, of course is crying, actually it was a mix between sobbing and screaming.
Well, the second he sees his little scrape in the mirror his face contorts into this odd little screwball face and I think "Oh no, he's going to be a puker..."
Next thing you know, I hear soft giggles intermixing with his decreasing sobs. He thinks its funny. Actually, I can tell from his giggles and his glances in the mirror that he is excited. He is loving the way he looks (who wouldn't?) He keeps tilting his head and smiling as he checks out his scraped up face in the mirror. "Man I look good." is written all over his face.
To tell you how proud he is of his new rugged good looks, when I mentioned taking a picture of his owie to post on the blog he sat down right where I told him and burst out a big smile (Cooper NEVER does that.) So proud to have such a handsome boy.
He is truly his mother's, grandmother's and great grandmother's child. I am sorry that he has the clutz curse. At least he is excited about the prospects it brings.
ReplyDeleteNow you know why every one of my vehicles has a first aid kit in it. When I had little kids I carried a small purse sized one as well. Now mind you, I didn't do this until after having Brandon, after him first aid kits and sunscreen became necessary in every vehicle and purse...Sigh. I am afraid it is only going to get worse.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly Cooper. Can I just say though that I think it's a boy thing? Josh is always falling over his feet & when he was 2 he constantly had bruises on his forehead from our ever so soft NAPA concrete.
ReplyDeleteHe would fit right in at our house. Love the smile, Cooper!
ReplyDeleteGlad it turned out to be okay.
