Well, more like an emergency room. (Without the real life emergencies!)
We've had quite a busy week in terms of accidents, wipeouts, road rash, bumps, and bruises. I'm sorry to say that our children have inherited my trait of being accident prone, and this week's incidents are testament to that.
It's especially tough when you witness it happen and can't catch them in time, or prevent them from getting all scraped up. You never like to see your kids get hurt.
But in the end, they always seem to get right back up. And especially with Kohlden on his bike. Our on-going motto: "It's okay to fall, so you can learn how not to fall."
Let's hope we have enough bandages on hand.
One on his chin, on his wrist, his knee, on his left hand, and one unseen on his elbow.
Way to be tough buddy!
