Boys will be boys...right?

So life with two boys can be quite interesting. They are big fans of rough housing. I mean at 20 months Kealan has already broken 2 bones!

The first broken bone was on his foot. It was a round of Ring Around the Rosie gone wrong. Brayden and Kealan were happily playing this game and my sister was thrilled, they were playing together, Brayden was singing and she thought maybe just maybe they are starting to place nice together and Brayden could get Kealan to start saying some words. Boy was she wrong. No sooner then the reached Ashes. Ashes we all fall down, instead of falling down Brayden flings Kealan and he flies into the side of the couch hitting his foot right now and that was cast number one. It happened right before their trip to Texas, so she had to take a 18 month old to Texas in June with a cast. How miserable was that car ride. Moreover they had to keep the foot covered because it became a weapon in wrestling matches. Kealan figured out how to run in a leg cast within 24hours and delighted in this new game.


The second broken bone was on his right wrist. This came from his own accord. Both boys have Batman pjs that have a cape on them. Well Brayden decided to stand on the couch and leap off like Batman does, well before my sister could even react Kealan had climbed onto the couch and leaped off to mimic Brayden. End result: cast number 2, one week before the family vacation to san diego. Both boys love the beach so my sister came up with a good idea of water proofing the casts. The only downside is that she got some questions on why her baby's arm had been amputated.


So that brings us to Mass this past Sunday. We are standing in the foyer because the cry room was full. The next thing we know Kealan runs and full on tackles Brayden in the middle of Mass, on tile floor inches from the glass separating the main sanctuary. Kealan looked up and immediately ran for the nearest corner to put his nose. At least he knows when he has done wrong...right?
