Face Plant

Recently we were outside hanging out with some neighbors while the kids were playing.  All of a sudden I hear a thump and turned to see Ethan face down on the sidewalk.  He was racing with our neighbors little girl and caught a bump in the sidewalk with his shoe.

Poor sweetie pie.  I felt so bad for him, but he actually did handle it quite well. About an hour later Megan had a swim meet.  When we walked in to the pool everyone was asking what happened to his face!  They just saw Ethan that morning at swim team practice.

What was cute though was when his nose got the brown scab on it he looked like a little bear with a brown painted nose! Ethan's nose is now all healed and without a scare.  Kids skin tends to heal so nicely!

That thump on the sidewalk really scared me.  Luckily, kids can whether those rough falls much better then us adults. Although I did still go in to his bedroom to check on him a couple times that night.  :-)

Now Ethan refuses to wear those shoe's that he fell in, since it is the shoes that make him fall.  He has also boycotted another pair of shoes since then for making him fall too.  I told him at this rate he won't have any shoes left, maybe he should just watch where he's going...  Kid's are so cute - they say the darnest things!
