Skinned up Noses

Okay, Bryson is officially the resident daredevil in the Haga household. This little guy is determined to not let age, size or common sense stop him. He will try to do anything Tyler and Natalie are doing and usually does a great job of keeping up with them. The only problem is that his coordination and common sense are not quite the same level as the older ones. This last incident is the third time that he has torn the skin off his nose! It doesn't seem to really concern him but it always looks horrible. We live on the end of a cul de sac and the kids love to ride their bikes up there. Our driveway has a nice slope to it and the rule is no coming down the driveway on riding toys. Tyler and Natalie have figured out that they can ride their bikes down the grass hill and it stops them just enough to not zoom down. Bryson on the other hand thinks that is no fun and is determined to go down the driveway. The kids were outside on Monday and we had stepped inside for a moment... when suddenly Tyler comes running in saying, Bryson is hurt. We ran outside and his fire truck was up under the truck and Bryson was getting up from under the truck with a banged up face! Don't worry, he is fine except for a skinned up nose and fat lip... but it just adds to his list of skinned up noses with him. Tyler said I tried to stop him but he said NO! After cleaning him up, he went back outside and he got back on his fire truck and headed back up the driveway grinning from ear to ear! Lesson not learned yet! Here is a picture of his nose... it is healing quickly and looks much better today... and these types of scrapes alwasys look worse before they get better! We have named him Bryson the daredevil.. don't try to stop me!
