Brady's first big boo-boo

Mornings are hectic in our house. Brady wakes up anywhere between 6:00 and 6:30 and he's usually ready to eat. My boy is always hungry. His noises usually wake up Kennedy, who always wakes up groggy. She is VERY slow moving in the morning. Actually, she's slow moving all the time. We cannot make this child move faster on anything, not eating, getting dressed, cleaning her room, brushing her teeth..... I digress.

Back to mornings. Hectic. Packing bags for each of them: Kennedy's for swimming lessons and Brady's with bibs, snacks, etc. Meanwhile, Chris and I TRY to shower and get dressed while juggling the kids. (This is where I would like to say that being a guy is SOOOOOO much easier than being a girl. Chris takes 20 minutes to shower and get dressed. Me? More like an hour when I'm getting ready for work. Can I please shave my head? Having long hair is time consuming. Again, I digress.)

Between Kennedy taking her sweet time and Brady demanding ALL my time, Chris and do our best to get everyone dressed, fed and out the door in one piece.



So, now the point of this lengthy post. This morning was going smoothly until Brady took a tumble in our bathroom and got his head stuck between the tile floor and one of the drawers in our vanity. He cried... and cried... and cried... His falls usually scare him more than anything, but this morning, he ended up with two purplish scratches from having his head stuck under the drawer. We put a cold washcloth on it and tried to calm him down (with Cheerios). You can't see the marks very well in this picture, but as you can tell by his sweet face - he was quite cranky the rest of the morning at home.

His curiosity about what's in mom's vanity drawer got the best of him. Funny thing is, we have a basket FULL of toys in our room for him to play with. But he'd much rather play with round brushes, Biore pore strips, and bottles of hair products. They don't light up or sing to him, but yet he is enthralled with all the adult things in the house. Don't even get me started on our kitchen drawer with Glad containers and lids.
