My crazy boy! He has been driving us and his babysitter a little crazy the past week asking "What's that noise?" about a hundred times a day! I don't know where he picked it up, but he listens for everything. You never realize how many motors are running things until he starts asking the question. Of course, then he asks the question over and over even though you give him the same answer until you turn it on him and ask HIM what the noise is.
We started Toddler Group with a local co-op organization and it has been a blast so far. Fun to meet lots of other kids, we have about 16 in our group. We meet once a week for about 2 hours, the kids can play in all kinds of different play areas, there are at least 4 art projects every week so they have art to take home. They get a chance to play with paint, ink, glue, glitter, etc. I feel like a real mom now that I have "kid art" hanging all over my refrigerator :)
Josh got his first big ugly nasty scary goose egg today. Ugh! He was under my feet while I was trying to clean the bathroom, I think it must have been the 4th time I told him he had to stay out and to go play in his bedroom when all the drama happened. Because he communicates so well his tantrums are never about not being understood or frustrated, they are only about being told he can't do something. So he went running off to his room, tripped and took a header into his bedroom door frame. I knew from his crying it was going to be bad, once I got up the nerve to look at for injuries, my stomach immediately got queasy when I saw it. I managed to get him to sit with ice on it for a bit, after about 15 minutes I grabbed my Dr. Sears Baby Book to reread the head injury section. I LOVE THAT BOOK! As you read it, it goes through every thought and concern you have in your head. I felt better after reading, so we just sat around with ice and pressure on the bump for as long as he would allow it. I managed to get it to go down quite a bit but it was still pretty nasty by the time Michael saw it when he got home from work and it had occurred 8 hours prior to that! Poor guy, I felt so bad I didn't take any pictures today, but I'll have to get some tomorrow. I much prefer the the plain old bruising head bonks, not those goose egg thingys!
Let me go see if I can round up some new pictures to keep you all from hounding me! :) Okay, see below....
