This weekend I went to the park with Lex. We took a picnic lunch and sat by the lake feeding the ducks and geese. We then went to the playground and Lex managed to swing himself on the swings for the first time. We probably stayed too late because it was dark before we got home.

We were nearly back when disaster struck.

We had just pushed our bikes up a hill and were about to get back on them to finish riding home when Lex tripped. As his bike fell the handlebars twisted and he hit his eye right on the end of them. Fortunately he didn’t seriously injure himself; he has a small cut on his eyelid as well as a large bruise around his right eye.

He was obviously in a lot of pain but was very brave. After a short cry and a cuddle I put him down and he walked home while I pushed both bikes. When we got home he sat very still and let Charlotte clean the wound with warm water. We are both very proud of our little boy.

Less than a week until his seventh birthday now.
