Not The Clothes Worn By Grizzly Adams

While the “Harry Potter” scar in the middle of my son’s forehead (from the stitches he required from the bunny cage incident on Valentine’s Day) is slowly healing but still plainly visible, he’s also sporting a slash on his nose and above his eyebrow, along with a bruise on his cheekbone.

Never mind running with scissors. Nobody ever warns you about the dangers of running with books. This grouping of slashes and bruises are actually from running around the kitchen with his Baby Galileo "book" -- he has managed to fall perfectly onto the edge of the book not once, not twice, but on at least three different occasions. Yes, books have already made big impressions on my boy in more ways than one.

And because the weather has started to warm up lately, we’ve been taking Alexander over to the park in our neighbourhood on a daily basis. He loves running at top speed up the play structure ramp and also enjoys watching the bigger kids playing there.

But he’s a very creative and inventive little boy. Along with the new landscape to play in, he has also discovered a whole new range of ways to injure himself.

I’m wondering if they make a Grizzly Suit for toddlers. But I’m sure they’re expensive to purchase new. So if anyone out there in blogville might have a used one they’re willing to part with, let me know. He’s big for his age, so I’ll need something in at least a 24 months size.
