Helmet #3

-
Should I even bother mentioning this anymore?  I think it is safe to say that my son either bruises extremely easily, or takes an absurd number of tumbles on any give day.  I am inclined to think it is the latter.

He received his first shiner at Kerri's on Friday.  He got in a fight with the corner of the toy box.

Saturday, I was folding some laundry in our bedroom and Calder thought it would be fun to pull our duvet off of our bed.  I didn't see the harm.  He tugged a couple of times and didn't get much of a result.  This is when he decided to lean into it.  He still didn't get a result, but this time his momentum swung him 270 degrees, head first into the corner of our wood bed frame.

Sunday, Hugh was putting on Calder's jacket and used a bit too much force with our little wobbley pop.  Calder tipped back and hit his head on the wall.  He bounced off of the wall and started falling forward.  He then tripped on his shoe and fell to the floor, head first.



We bought him a bike helmet last weekend.  Calder may have to start wearing it around the house.

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!

Another embarassing one

On Tuesday, I had this brilliant post formulated in my head. Then just before supper the power went out. Although the internet went down with the power, I still could have just written it on the computer to publish in the morning. Instead, I took full advantage of a sick child (who slept on the couch most of the evening) and a husband who was in the city (at his Grade 8's Farewell). I read. And also did some texting. But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. I wish he would have given me a little more credit when this elaborate daydream was running t...

Guest Post Luke: Men at Ikea

     I've recently been blessed with 2 trips to Ikea in the last 3 months, and with a lot of time on my hands while in Ikea I came to notice a few similarities in all the men walking around there.   As I was taking notes on every man I saw, and mostly myself , I came up with different types of guys and what their role was with their significant other.          The first guy, who I believe to be the most common, is "The Turn Back Man".  This man believes that, just like in racing, if he stays in front of his significant other he can use drafting to increase her speed and keep her on track.  This never works and he subsequently becomes the "Turn Back Man".  He is constantly 4 steps ahead and turning back over and over when SHE sees something else they "might" need.  It is tough, because when entering Ikea men want to do as little walking as possible, but this has us taking even more steps. It is the slight chance that ...
