A few bumps in the road.

So poor Owen has had several clumsy days. He has the desire to play with the big kids, but he is lacking the coordination to keep up with the big kids. He has bruises on his forehead from 3 separate falls to prove his lack of coordination. Poor buddy!

Fall #1-

We spent last weekend in MN. We were celebrating Grace's and several nieces' birthdays and a nephew's 1st birthday. We took our kids and 2 of my nieces to the MN children's museum on Friday. The kids had so much fun! Owen even had a blast. They have "tot spots" in each of their exhibits that are just for little ones like Owen. We ran and giggled and splashed and screamed and had all sorts of fun. Anyways....the whole point to this is.....Owen took a mighty tumble in one of the toddler areas and hit his head on a railing and got his first of 3 bruises on his forehead.

Fall #2-

At the hotel in MN, Owen had so much fun with his brother, sister and cousins swimming in the hotel pool. The tile around the pool was a little slippery, and poor Owen found this out the hard way.....bruise #2.

Fall #3

On Monday Grace was having a little birthday party after school. We went to the school to pick her and her friends up. It was a beautiful day out so we parked the van and walked to the front of the school to wait for the girls. I let Owen down to walk on the sidewalk.....which of course turned into running on the sidewalk. He came to a handicap walkway on the sidewalk and failed to slow down, failed to negotiate the dip in the sidewalk, and....bruise #3. Bruise #3 also came with a little road rash from the cement sidewalk.

We're thinking about getting him a helmet.
