Tonight after dinner I thought it would be nice for the kids to get outside a little before bedtime. It felt so nice out there and what kid doesn’t love being outside. I also decided it would be a fine time for Ashe to try walking with his little shoes on… on concrete. I mean, he’s been walking for almost two full months now, and when we got down there he nearly jumped out of my arms to get after it.

I put him down, standing. He made a few strides forward and then just did a complete face plant into the sidewalk. I thought he just bonked his head pretty well, but oh I was so wrong. Chris looked at him while I was hugging him and said, “look at his face.” Poor baby was all scraped up and bleeding! This is the birthday curse- my kids are either sick or have some sort of wound on their face for their birthdays. So- this year Ashe will celebrate his birthday with scabs that look like boogers in all the pictures. Way to go Mama!
