scrapes, bruises and the joys of being a mom to a little boy

pbs is normally pretty sturdy on his feet, whether he's walking or running or even climbing. when he gets tired he tends to trip and fall more over his feet.

the other day we were having pictures taken for christmas cards. before the shoot pbs was watching one of his favorite shows, word world, on the studio's tv. he had climbed up onto one of the stools. he wasn't completely on and fell pretty hard, hitting his head on the floor. he cried, which is unusual for him unless he's really tired or it really hurts. i took him and walked him out to see the christmas displays that were already up. he saw mickey mouse and goofy and was his smiling,  laughing self after a few minutes. i always get so worried about concussions and more serious injuries, but he was fine.

then came the shoot. he was somewhat cooperative for most of the session. he came to a point when he was done. i know, turkeys are done and people are finished but pbs was done. we finished and got the shots we wanted.

as pbs was trying to escape. he tripped and caught his cheek on the doorway. he's got a nice scrape and bruise. it just shows that he's all boy i guess.

pbs and i were out a couple days ago and a little boy about four or five years old says to pbs, "i hope your cheek gets better soon." i guess i looked a little confused because the little boy says, "i saw the scratch on his cheek and i hope it gets better." i was so touched. so i guess the scrapes and bruises are just part of the joy of being a mom to a little boy.
