What's Black, Blue and Red All Over??

That would be Cooper Jay and the red all over part is a bit of an exaggeration. Cooper is a smidge of a mess this week. I failed to mention that on Sunday I was a horrible parent and I didn't put sunblock on his precious little face while we were in the park and by Monday morning he looked a little like a lobster. But it was only his face, not all over. Now for the black and blue. On top of the lobster look he was walking around daycare on Monday with a toy crate/block-type object and he fell face first into it. Initially it looked like just a scraped up nose and bruise on his forehead but by this afternoon it spread to another bruise on his cheek and a black eye. I cringed when I had to take him to the doctor today b/c he still has a really bad ear infection. Thank goodness the sunburn is gone but I still had to explain to the doctor what happened to his face (sigh). Mommy's nerves are pretty much shot these days. Despite all the bruises, scrapes, burns and ear infections Coop is in a pretty good mood. He is a little extra whiney but wouldn't we all be if we had an ear infection for almost a month and starting a 3rd round of antibiotics. I had to take a picture just so you all could see why my nerves are shot. He just looks mad b/c the flash hurt his eyes (yes, I know that's something else).
