Bumps and Bruises

I know why my Grandma Jeanne always lived within a mile of a hospital while my Dad and his brothers were small.  There is a klutz gene and it runs in the family.  Atticus was 0 for 4 on Saturday.  He ran his hand along the fence in the back yard embedding several splinters in his fingers.  We're still working on removing them.  Then he tripped in the backyard onto the porch scratching his knees.  Next, in the kitchen (and again later in his room) he managed to hit the same spot on his cheekbone on the counter (and then dresser) leaving a small bruise.  Lastly, when we were getting our pajamas on for bed, he said the backs of his knees hurt?  We don't know what happened (guessing rug burn from going down the stairs on his tush?) but there were two red marks on the backs of his knees!

Poor guy is falling apart and he's not even four!
