Stunt Man

Briggs-a-potomus has had plenty of slips, falls, and minor accidents in his 10 months of life.  However, he has recently had his first real injury.  This one actually drew blood.

Last week I got a call from daycare around 11am.  "Everything is fine, no worries.  Just wanted to let you know that Briggs got a good scratch on his nose."  Appears that he slipped into the supply closet where the teachers keep all sorts of things, but in particular, toys.  Briggs was reaching up for a container of toys and brought the whole thing down onto his face.  No big deal to him, he didn't even start crying until they took the toys away to put them back!!

This is now the third time that we've gotten an "incident" report.  The first was because he got a good goose-egg from bumping his head on a crib and the second was because he got bitten by another child on the playground.  I'm sure these are just the first of many reports we'll be getting!!

I'm starting to believe that Briggs is planning to be a stuntman when he grows up.  For starters, he LOVES to play rough.  He absolutely loves it when David holds him upside down, tosses him in the air (also upside-down), holds him by his legs, or bounces him off the couch.  His goal is to go head-first off of the couch and the ottoman, luckily we haven't had this happen ... yet.

One more piece of evidence.  Briggs' favorite book is "Go, Dog. Go!"  And his favorite page in the entire book is the last page, the "Dog Party".  On several of the pages we point out the mommy dog, the daddy dog, and the Briggs dog.  On the last page in particular,  Briggs always, ALWAYS points to one specific dog.  Yep, the one coming OUT OF the cannon!

Briggs Dog!
