Bode's firsts

Well, Bode has had a few firsts recently. The first one is play-doh. He discovered the joy of playing with play-doh. He likes the smell, too! He sniffs it and says, "MMM mells good." He had his first "fishing" experience. We got him a Scooby Doo fishing rod. He has been practicing off his play set and in our little pond (until he fell in!). We took him to the pond by the library and tried to catch a fish, but nothing was biting. He enjoyed it even though he didn't catch anything. His most recent first was just last night. He pulled something off our dresser that snagged a decoration of metal and glass. The glass broke and he cut his leg. It was a run to Urgent care for stitches: one big stitch inside and 9 outside. He did very well and after the initial numbing, he just sat on my lap while Dad entertained him with rubber gloves and exam lights! They said he was one of the easiest 2 year olds they have had. Maybe they say that to all the parents, but he did so much better than we thought he'd do! He doesn't seem to be too bothered by it, but he does take steps gingerly! As busy as he is, I'm sure this won't be the last time!
