Dressed to Impress

Today, Corban and I were playing with some Halloween foam stickers.  I started putting them on my clothes and so Corban decided to accessorize the only thing he had on...

This kid is too funny.  I guess I really should dress my child more often.  But then I wouldn't have these pictures...

Anyway, Happy Halloween!!

He took a tumble

Last week, Corban failed to negotiate a step quite right and ended up with a few scrapes and a mouth full of sawdust.

He scraped his nose, the corner of his mouth, and bumped his head (which you can't even see in this picture).  So, in his nearly 14 months of life, this is the worst he has ever been hurt.  My reaction - what a sheltered child!  He needs an older brother to toughen him up.  Seriously, this kid can go on and ON when he hurts himself.  He'll complain for about 20 minutes.  Apparently, he wants to make sure everybody knows.

So, my new strategy is to simply feed him something because it quiets him down mighty fast.  I know this is really not the best habit and I should find a different way to distract him.  It's just so easy.  But I guess I'll have no one to blame when someday he shows me where it hurts and says, "I need a brownie."
