On The Move!

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but Bman is my climber. Today was no exception. The only difference is, today his adventures got him wounded. He climbed into a kids lawn chair and it tipped over and he landed flat on his upper lip. Take a look at this picture of his swollen lip - poor thing.

I didn't know the mouth could bleed so much. I seriously thought he was going to need stitches somewhere with all that blood. But, once I got him cleaned up, I think it's just 2 little cuts in his upper lip where his teeth are and a "floor burn" on the outside of his lip. It's hard to really say because he's not too thrilled about letting me look.

During supper he figures no one will even notice his lip if he disquises it with lasagna. I guess I should have told him that his ouwie was just on his lip, not his hair too. But, needless to say, the swelling has gone down and it looks like no big deal.

Later that evening after his bath, I went to wash the girls' hair. I got one girl done, came out to check on him, and find him on top of the table, eating chex mix. (Don't worry, the hubby was watching him while I ran to get the camera...The real question is, Where was the hubby when Bman was climbing on to the table??? Hmm.)

Next, into the toy room we all go to get the girls dressed in their pj's. He proceeds to climb on to the toy box, and then on to the sterlite drawers next to the toy box to retrieve something he thought desirable. I look at him and he's just smiling from ear to ear, like, "Aren't you proud of me? Look how high I climbed!"

To top the evening off, we go to the basement to put a movie on for the girls. He climbs up the first step and falls off. Luckily it was only the first step. So, I grab him and put him on the floor by me. To no one's suprise, he takes off, climbs on to my stair stepper, then on to the couch. Hanging on to the back of the couch he starts jumping up and down laughing his little butt off, like he's never had so much fun. I have to wonder -- has he done this before??

Not only am I amazed at all the things he can climb, but I'm sure he could win some kind of world record for the speedy time he does them in! I need 4 sets of eyes for this little guy. He is always on the move or into something.

The other day he was sitting by the front door. As he turned to look at me, I noticed his face looked like he had just got done eating an Oreo cookie. But as my eyes surveyed the scene further, I noticed the evidence right next to him - MiniMe's muddy chore boot. I only pray that she walked through mud puddles that day and not the cattle yard!

He is alway into something -- AHH! Like the box of tissues he is tearing up right now!!!

It's time for bed - he can't climb out of that yet!!
