Boys will be Boys...

I really wanted to share these pictures because it is very rare that I see my son get dirty and I was so tickled when I found out he had painted his face and was playing army guys.  I was getting ready to leave out of town this day for work and I went outside to load up my car and saw his face, and he ran and hid behind the bushes.  I told him to come here for a minute and he hesitated because he thought he would be in trouble for sure.   Little did he know, I was thrilled inside because he was finally letting go and playing and just being a kid and getting dirty!

First major bike wreck.  Broderick has been riding his bike for 2 years without training wheels, and he had his first major wreck since he began riding.  It was right before I was getting ready to leave for our Bunko group, and he ran in the house screaming and holding his chin.  He had blood all over his face, so at first we really didn't know how serious his injuries were.  He ended up with a really swollen and bruised chin, scrapes on his nose, chin and wrists, a busted and swollen lip, and a really big bruise on his knee.  It has only been a week, but he has healed up suprisingly well.
