I picked up a new toy this weekend - a 2009 Mini Cooper Convertible, in Laser Blue. I love it, and Noah loves it too!
Unfortunately, the "blue beep-beep" as it is known didn't make a very fine introduction to Noah. Today I spent some time moving things in to the new car, and left the boot (trunk) open while doing so. Noah ran out of the house, all a-twitter about the new car, and ran SMACK into the corner of the boot.
Stunned more than harmed, he still got a pretty good gash on the side of his left eye. I have a feeling that's going to leave a permanent mark.
The injury didn't seem to affect Noah's enthusiasm over the blue beep-beep, though, and we still enjoyed a day out and about with the top down.
Noah's first scar...it breaks my heart. But, he's a boy - it's bound to happen sooner or later, and I'm sure it's going to happen again a lot.
