Independence comes with a price

Like most kids his age, Evan likes to assert his independence. Whether exploring on his own or insisting to use the fork/spoon himself, he can be a very determined and insistent little boy. So, instead of allowing me to hold his hand and walk with him on the cement around our friends' pool, he insisted he walk by himself (with me closely behind). The picture below shows the results: top and bottom fat lips. This little incident comes two days after Evan decided to pick up a glass and shatter it on our tile floor. Let me tell you how much fun it was to search for and remove tiny shards of glass from a squirmy 14-month-old. Thankfully, there were just a few small cuts.

Seriously? Only 14 months old? How many more of these "little incidences" do I have to look forward to??
