Our little monkey

Ryan is not the type to sit still or to stay off things. As a result, he ended up with a nice knot right between his eyes. OUCH!

To start his day off, Heidi wanted him to sit next to her at the island. This is normally not a problem, if Mom puts him in the booster seat that is TIED down to the chair. Heidi was already in that seat, so Mom put him in another booster, not tied to the chair, but buckeled to him. After the girls took off for school, Ryan wanted down. Instead of waiting for Mom, he rocked himself off the chair, booster and all. He didn't cry much, and looked to be in a fairly safe position on the floor when Mom came to his rescue. Well, a few minutes later, a nice sized goose egg was popping out right between his eyes. That was not all. Later that morning, Mom was painting a dresser in the living room. Ryan had made his way to his hard, wooden rocking horse. This is not unusual. Ryan loves to climb on and off this thing all the time, and never really had a problem doing it. Well, maybe the first knock made him a little uneasy and as Mom peeked around the dresser to see what her little monkey was doing, he took another BAD fall right on his head, hitting that same place right between his eyes. Mom tried ice, but that didn't last too long. He didn't cry too very long, but the result was sure nasty looking!
