Wrestling!

A typical after dinner / before bathtime activity in our house is for the boys to wrestle. Drew says it gets Jasper tired out for bed. I'm not sure exactly how accurate that is, but they both love it!

Here you can see, after their wrestling match Jasper finds himself victorious. Drew looks a little whiped-out, don't you think?

This latest injury (the cut/puffy lip) is from a fall Jasper took into a pile of leaves and twigs. We don't know exactly what caused the cut, but for a moment upon cleaning it we were sure we'd have to load up and head to the Dell Children's hospital. Thankfully it again proved to be a little bleeder and we consoled ourselves that it wasn't a through puncture and therefore the cut would heal on its own. The interesting thing is that the lip itself was not cut (on the outside at least). The puncture was above the lipline, but sometime in the night we think Jasper might have scratched the wound and caused it to be enlarged. We were surprised when we got him up on Sunday morning to find it looking worse than the day before.

If it's not one thing it's another. No sooner had that wound healed and Jasper fell at the park face first and cut the bridge of his nose on his sunglasses. That cut is currently healing.

These days there is no piece of furniture that is safe from Jasper (except the beds ... they're still too high). He can climb onto anything and pull things down from all the tables. We have to be quite intentional with where we put things or they soon will be in his possession.


He loves climbing on the couch and playing there. He's taken a few tumbles off of it, and so far each has been controlled enough that he hasn't been hurt in the least bit. We'll see if that continues.
