Boys will be boys













Our boys have been testing the limitations of their little bodies lately!  Zac smacked the side of his face against the kitchen table and knocked his tooth loose!  This is a Hygienists nightmare and I didn't think I'd be dealing with it ALREADY!  Luckily by the next morning the tooth had firmed up in the socket again and we'll have to keep an eye on it.
Then there's Tyler!  He started crawling early and hasn't stopped since.  He now tries to pull up on everything as though crawling is no longer good enough.  Unfortunately I don't think his body is quite ready to keep up with him!  Last week, he slipped on the sill of the window and gave himself a nasty black eye.  He fell into our neighbors pool on Sunday.  Luckily we were right there and Tom grabbed him right away.  He didn't even cough or anything.  Monday night was when Zac had his run in with the table and in the middle of trying to help him feel better, Tyler pulled a kitchen chair over on top of himself and hit his head on the tile floor.  Tuesday morning I went up to get him in the morning and was in complete disbelief to find that he had ANOTHER black eye!  Somehow in the safety of his crib in the middle of the night he managed to fall and hit his other eye!  Is this really even possible?  Is this what the rest of toddlerhood and adolesence is going to be like with two boys?
The first picture is Tyler pulling himself up and underneath our end table trying to get into something.  I just thought it illustrated what I encounter all day long!  The second photo is Tyler's two black eyes and you can see his two top teeth there as well!  I was terrified to take him out in public today for fear of being arrested for child abuse!
