Accident waiting to happen...

Benjamin has no inhibitions. This means that he does some pretty ridiculous things. I usually chalk this up to being a boy, but I think some of it has to do with his personality :) Either way, there will be a lot of lessons learned the hard way for my active boy!

As he usually does, Benjamin climbed onto a chair yesterday while we were getting dinner ready. He likes to drink whatever he can find on the table. Patrick leaves his cups a little to close and B will consume whatever is in it. I have to say, though, it's quite adorable to look over and see a tiny little boy drinking lemonade out of a glass...knowing he shouldn't. Sigh.

We're not quite sure how it happened, but B took some sort of flying leap/fall from the chair yesterday. He face planted into the tile floor (sound familiar MJR?!) and cries immediately rushed out of this typically tough boy. The wound was a small scratch surrounded by a huge bump and bruise. It was so sad!!!

I got a few pictures once he calmed down and was in the tub.

*Not too pleased about me taking pictures...
*Can you see it? It's kind of heart shaped...
*Sweet boy...
*Playing with the horses
*Oh my soul. I love this face! Even with a huge bruise on it :)
Ah, just another day in the McBride house. I wouldn't trade it for anything!

I fell off a toilet seat when I was 5 and bit a porcelain bathtub... fun, left my front teeth grey. Then about 3 weeks ago Ava was eating lunch in her booster seat and kicked off the table throwing the chair backwards into the wall... left a HUGE hole in the wall. Not a scratch on her, but it did call for a trip to the ER. And my little girl seems to be as rough as a little boy!

Poor thing! I kinda have the same thoughts about Bobby...he's already had a black eye, a chipped tooth, and multiple bruises on his body! He too, has no fear about anything!
