Booboos and Owies

Colton had his first fall that ended in blood and tears today while out for a little jaunt around the sidewalks. It was a balmy 60 something degrees out, so we were out enjoying the weather, even though we missed the sunlight by about ten minutes. :/

We were walking along just fine, Colton holding onto my one hand and walking alongside me when he went to bend over to look at a flag in the ground and lost his balance.  His knees hit first, then his hands, and then his nose/mouth.  Got a little bit of a cut in his mouth/lip and blood was on his lips as he cried.  Luckily it was only a few inches he fell, but still, the rest of the day he was pretty whiny/cry-y, he seemed to cheer up a little bit while he got to take a bath.

I still feel bad about it.  I should have caught him, but it was too fast and I'm too slow and it was too short a distance.  He'll live and hopefully just be a little more diligent about his balance in his shoes.  Course, it wouldn't hurt to practice a little bit more walking in his shoes.
