First climbing accident.

Today we were all set to go out for the day. Daddy asked Kai to get his socks, which had been left in our room. He went upstairs and next thing there is repeated loud bangs and screaming from Kai. We both ran upstairs and we found Kai with the chest of drawers falling on the back of his leg. Daddy grabbed the chest of drawers but I had to squeeze past them and stand it all back upright. Kai understandably was very upset but was surprisingly easy to calm. He was guarding his leg and not standing on it. We went downstairs and he sat on the sofa with his Daddy. I rang Grandma and she carried out a remote scanning of his leg identifying the area where the largest bruising on his leg came out. We both gave him some healing. He was happy to just sit, so we thought we'd give him the benefit and see how he went.
As far as we can tell he pulled out the bottom drawer to stand on to reach his socks in the top drawer. He is normally so good getting his chair to reach higher, he just thought this way might be quicker, I guess. Well he won't be doing it again for a long while as you can imagine.
After lunch he was walking on it, (all be it with his heal raised), but he was still guarding it. In the evening we went out for Chinese and he walked flat footed back to the car while he was distracted with lollipop and his own reflection in the window, he would only start limping again in between windows .

Alana ever the lady was happy to go with the flow showing off her pretty dress, we even managed 10secs or so with the hat on.

Alana has had her 4 central teeth for so long it looked like that was all she was getting. Well at the moment she has at least three more if not five, which have all broken through the gum together in the last week.
What an eventful yet quiet day, wonder what tomorrow will bring.
