Stairs Can Be Hazardous To Your Health

So Douglas has decided that he is a "big boy" and has been trying to go down the stairs by himself...not on his butt or on his belly (feet first) but like a "big boy" would (like most adults do). He discovered that he is just NOT QUITE tall enough to keep his hand on the railing and reach his foot down to the next step safely. He attempted to go down the deck stairs by himself and the result was that he went down face first and landed face first on the edge of the paving stone that we have as part of our walkway. Allen got him all cleaned up and even stripped him down to make sure that no other part of him was injured. The po' kid really banged up his nose & mouth though. I mean REALLY banged them up. He's got a decent sized fat lip and a nastly lookin bruise on the end of his nose. I'm taking him to the doctor today to make sure he didn't do anything other than just "surface" damage.
