Ben's Stunts

Benjamin should have been wearing his "I do all my own stunts" t-shirt tonight at dinner when for the 2nd time his fell out of his chair and gave himself a bloody lip. I couldn't believe it when it happened again. I told Adrian that he's going to have lips like Angelina Jolie if we don't do something. So we brought up his much loathed booster seat again, with the promise that he could decorate it with Star Wars stickers. Let's hope that it keeps him in the center of the chair and not falling over the edge. Good grief!!

some kids are just born to be a walking wound! My Tessa is surely to be the same. She is always balancing on the edge of her booster seat and climbing things. Oh man, I hope we survive motherhood and I hope they survive childhood!

poor kid. Isn't it amazing what a few stickers can make a kid do? (kind of like women being bribed with chocolate!)

Sounds like you need to carry sugar packets in your diaper bag!

A friend told me that if your child cuts their lip or mouth, just give them a little bit of sugar. It will STOP the bleeding. It really works, and as a bonus.....they also stop crying! =)
