Battle Wounds

This is what you get when you cross an energetic and adventurous toddler with concrete and gravel driveways. The scrape on the top of his forehead near the hairline is from trying to pick up a basketball and doing a somersault over it into the concrete. The other scrapes from the forehead, down the cheek, on the nose and on the chin are from a trip on the brick entryway of our house, which sent him flying head first into the loose gravel driveway. We brought him in the house and had to pick all the rocks out of his face. I suspect this is only one of many wounds to expect over the coming years of raising a little boy.
