Big Owie!


First of all....Caleb is fine!!

We had quite a start to our weekend.  We went shopping at the local grocery market and as usual, Caled climbed into the shopping cart.  He normally does this and enjoys riding down the isles pointing at what to buy.  This time unfortuately, he decided he wanted to walk and when he stood up, he lost his balance and came crashing down.  Caleb landed hard on his head and withing 5 minutes, this big welt started to develop.

Needless to say, we rush to the local children's hospital and spent the next 6 hours in emergency making sure Caleb was ok. The wonderful doctors and nurses said he was fine, the x-rays came back negative; it was a relief for all of us.

We did learn a valuable lesson today; never let your children think the shopping cart is a toy.  Also parents, don't let your children treat the shopping cart as a amusement ride; they can get hurt.

On this Canadian Thanksgiving, we are thankful it is just a deep bruise and nothing more!
