A BAD BOY, A BOO BOO, and A BIRTHDAY

The other day I found Chase in the laundry room, ON TOP of the washing machine. I couldn't believe it. I said Chase... show mommy how you did that? He said, "okay" and was so proud of himself as he showed me how he did it...




With Chase fearlessly climbing on everything, it's bound to happen for him to get hurt. This one was bad, probably worse for me than it was for Chase because I witnessed the whole fall in what seemed to be slow motion. Chase was in a chair on our back porch, when before I could even react, had stood up and was falling over backwards off the porch into the freshly laid mulch in the garden. He went face first and was literally inches from smacking his face right on a pipe that sticks out of the ground. It scared me to death!!! He was pretty tough, between sobs he kept assuring me saying "I'm okay I'm okay" and as soon as I had him cleaned up he was back in action as if nothing had happened, I however, am still traumatized.




We went to Chase's cousin Leah's 3rd birthday party in Pryor. It was a lot of fun! It was a carnival theme, and Uncle David even dressed up as a clown. Chase had a lot of fun running around with all the kids outside!
