Mistake #1 - going to the mall on a perfectly beautiful summer's evening
Mistake #2 - allowing our child to have some fun
Mistake #3 - wearing a white shirt
...Max was getting antsy, it was time to let him free. All of the other kids were playing in this lovely, empty common area - nobody hangs out there except for children who need to blow off some steam and their exhausted parents. Max joined in on the fun and promptly tripped, and crashed face first onto the floor. By the time we scooped him up, there was blood gushing from his mouth and nose, poor little guy! I was very prepared - I had 2 tissues which seemed like the size of a postage stamp - good god, that wouldn't do! We managed to get the hell out of there, Max hysterical and both of us covered in blood. The evening didn't improve and Max went to bed with a fat lip and a sore little mouth. Perhaps we skip the mall from now on?

Oh Max... it's time you came to Alberta for a visit; to run freely in the GREEN grass, pet the dogs, look at the baby calves and get lots of hugs. I hope you are feeling better and your Mom and Dad are relaxing about your toddler fall. Hugs from Grandma and Grandpa.
OH DEAR that does not sound like fun at all for any of you!! Hope Max woke up happy and smiling with no sign of that fat lip. Hope to see you when you guys are home visiting. Take Care
Look on the bright side...you are not 40+ weeks prego and miserable!
