I'm gonna wrap him in bubble wrap.....

While Caleb was at mother's day out Monday, I made an appointment to get his picture taken next week. It shouldn't surprise me that when I went to pick him up, I was met with "he fell while we were going to the playground and skinned both knees". Ok, note to self, no shorts for the pictures. Who did I think I was kidding thinking this would be his only injury before the photography session next Monday? Nope. Here goes the list..... -He was running through the kitchen, no obstacles what-so-ever in his way, and fell on the tile floor. He caught himself....with his forehead. A big "goose-egg" immediately pops up and eventually evens out to a nice big black and blue bruise. -Same day, different part of the kitchen.....he gets excited because I'm fixing him a plate of oranges. He runs to sit at his table and runs into the wall...sort of. He actually trips just short of the wall and falls into the wall. Bruised nose. -He scrapes his skinned knee with a toy and it hurts him so I put a bandaid on it. Which he immediately removes. So I put another one on and tell him it's to make his boo-boo better. Evidently he thinks it's supposed to work right away so he trys to remove it, too. I stop him and cleverly think to put a pair of pants on him so he can't see it. Only he doesn't want to wear pants and throws a huge fit about putting on pants. Oh boy, didn't I plan on him wearing pants for the pictures? Note to self....have Caleb practice wearing pants. I guess he....oh my goodness, I can't finish a thought without another boo-boo. It's his hand, he just pinched it a little...no biggie. Ok, it's been kissed so he is better. Ok, as I was saying, I guess he is used to wearing shorts and pants feel weird to him. -Today while tickling him and playing "what's under your arms, Caleb?", he bites his lip. Two small red boo-boos on his lower lip. (Oh, and the answer to what is under his arms is "giggles"....because he laughs when I tickle him.) -Today he saw his tractor in his closet, gets excited about it and graps it...drops it on his foot. He told me it was a boo boo but I don't see a bruise or anything. I would reschedule his photo session but I'm afraid of what he might get into the next time. Although it would give me time to find some bubble wrap....
