Danger Dan

Daniel is a very, ahhh, shall we say, energetic child! He can get into trouble in a room padded with mattresses. I'm sure at some point, he will earn us a trip to the ER.

One of the things that is constantly causing him trouble is that he likes to climb on the back of chairs. Usually while someone is sitting in it. That wouldn't be so bad, except people get up and then, yes, chairs tip over and Dan goes for a short flight...crash and burn!

The photo below is the result of just such an incident. He was on the back of a rocking chair that Rachel and Gabe were sitting in. They got up, Dan went crashing and landed face first onto a radiator behind the chair. He looks like he was attacked by a wild animal.

He was very brave about the whole thing. After the appropriate snuggles and "Poor Daniel", he let me clean it up and even take his picture. Of course, holding Mr. Teddy helped. I am not a squeamish person at all, worked in an ER for several years, but this gave me to shivers looking at the "roadrash" on his little face.

OUCH! Poor little guy. Maybe he'll think twice about climbing on the back of a chair next time?

Sorry QB, he was at it again not to long after.

Oh poor Dan! I was guessing cat or dog scratch or something when the picture first popped up. Not surprised to hear that he was back at it though, it seems to take more than one incident with "active" boys, LOL.

Did you get my email comparing various small pets (maybe a week ago) when you asked about gerbils? Just wanted to make sure. I tried to do a comparisson based on our experiences!
