Lessons Learned (Maybe?)

This morning, while he was supposed to be getting dressed for school, Tai attempted to retrieve Emmit from the top of his bureau by standing on an ottoman, on tiptoes, reaching across an 18" span and fumbling around above his head.

He fell.

Naked.

Onto a wooden train.

I was nursing Quynh at the time, listening through the wall as a crying Tai told Minh what had happened. After some wailing and some exclaiming of "my penis!" when Minh asked where Tai had hurt himself, I found the two of them snuggled in Tai's bed, wrapped in a blanket. Man Time.

The lessons to be learned are many. (1) Don't reach for things on top of the bureau, (2) Don't stand on furniture, (3) Don't leave toys laying around on the floor, and (4) we need a better place to keep Emmit when he's off limits.
