Andrew's shiners

I forgot about Andrew's shiners. It looked like he was wearing eyeliner for about a week and a half, you could especially see it when he closed his eye. He's becoming more daring about climbing on things. Like at the mall play area.

The day before (the 10th) though mommy got to go to a movie, lunch, and shopping with a friend. Andrew joined us in the afternoon when daddy had to go to school. He was pretty good, not so thrilled with mommy trying on clothes though. As a reward, and it was dinner time, I took him to McDonald's for dinner. The one by us has a play area that is more toddler-friendly. He loves to climb up and go down the little slide. Then there are big chunky steps that go from the top of the dinosaur down his tail but the walls on the sides of it end and there are two more stairs that curve around and I think Andrew thought he could turn and get off (or his rubber boots made him trip). Anyway, he landed head first and was screaming. It was turning bright red and starting to form a purple welt. Another mom was very sweet and went and asked for a plastic bag and put ice in it. He let me put it on his face a few times but not for very long.

By the time we were scheduled for family pictures (the 20th), it was pretty well gone....but a few days later daddy took him to the library and he fell off one of the little chairs and banged the opposite cheekbone right on the table and got another bruise. You can probably see him sporting that one in some Thanksgiving pictures. :)

Oh, such a little boy. I guess they're supposed to get bumps and bruises. :)
