I think I might need to invest in some Cadbury stock, Who knew he'd fall this much? Today I was sitting RIGHT NEXT to him and he tried to pull himself up on this evil contraption.
Obviously, not a smart idea. Poor kid wound up with a small cut (from a ball popper?) and a little swollen eye.
I used my fabulous physical restraint techniques to keep the little guy still while I tried to put ice on his eye and force feed him swedish fish at the same time. He seemed to really enjoy it all... except the being restrained part (who knew my training would come in handy as a mom? :)).
Kevin is hopeful that he doesn't start trying to fall down just to get candy.

I've done the same with Grace. Let me just tell you that she works the system for a "bean" when she gets hurt. For weeks she complained of a knee ache. We were at the doctor's for another reason, but I had the doctor look at her knee. Mysteriously the knee didn't hurt. I realized that Grace was just complaining of a knee ache to get a treat.
All that said, I say bring on the treats! They make us happy when we are sad, so keep letting Andrew have them when he gets hurt. That looked like a pretty serious bump from the ball blower. Poor thing!
Scott quickly figured out the financial benefit of getting hit by a pitch. So he'd be both crying and smiling while standing on first base. However, because it always hurt, I never noticed him intentionally trying to get hit. Andrew's a smart little guy so I suspect he will be in the same boat. Grandpa Kim
