Poor kid(s)

It's been a weekend of injuries here. First on Saturday Sarah fell backward and hit her head on the sliding glass door. After a few minutes of crying we determined she was fine. Fast forward to Saturday night when Sloane tripped over a toy and crashed to the floor. As soon as she stood up we could see the bruise on her cheek forming. She hopped up crying next to Mom on the couch while Dad got her an ice pack. She kept it on for a few minutes and then threw it at Mom. Who was holding Cole - you can see where this is going right? Yup, clocked Cole squarely in the head with a hard plastic ice pack. Cue panicked call to the pediatrician. After checking his pupils, making sure he was acting normally we were incredibly relieved.

Other than putting these kids in a padded room there is no way to keep these things from happening so I'm quite sure we'll have similar events in the future. I just hope they are spaced a bit further apart....
