New parenting milestones :-/

[lordandrei]

Aiden fell onto his butt today. this unto itself wouldn't be too bad. But he bit his tongue when he landed.

So today I got to deal with my first look at "Aiden Blood"

Needless to say.. not the milestone I was looking forward to ever seeing.

guh.

Boy is okay. He got ice cream from shimmeringjemmy and elocinnuala... shook off the pain in minutes

Methinks YOU could use a spoonful or three of ice cream, too.

Ice cream?

[lordandrei]

Not will my inability to process milk ;)

SOY cream, then.

Oooh sadness!
He'll soon forget it, though. Babies are so small, so seemingly fragile, we tend to forget how they'll bounce back.

Wait til the first time he bumps his head or scrapes a knee or bites a lip.

That or just wait until some kid dares your kids that he can't do that and sure enough as a boy.. he does... and ends up in the ER. Boys will be boys.

Remember we didn't call my son Crash Monkey for no reason. He's earned every single bump on his head and boy he has some explaining to do if he ever has to have his head shaved or a phrenologist explore his head.

hey, you made it over a year without 'first blood'...I would consider that fortunate!

and I completley agree with the above. Crash earned his name. Wait for his first big road rash when he's speeding around on his bike.

*our* Crash that is, as opposed to Crash Monkey who is a different child with a similar history I trust.

Oh sorry hon. We have not experienced this particular one yet (not looking forward to it) but it seems that Micah is constantly hitting his head on one thing or another. The kid always has bruises on his head.
Not sure how I will react when he hits something and bleeds. Probably I'll be shaken for a few years too.
