Ouch

We took a walk to the park tonight and it was an adventure from the very beginning. We decided to let Karsten walk because he's becoming a big fan of being independent and walking lately.

We would walk past a driveway or two, then Karsten would stop to watch kids playing basketball, or watch a dog in someone's backyard. He's so observant - every little detail caught his attention. We stopped to examine rocks, watch a soccer practice in the park, then finally we made it to the playground.

When we were ready to begin our walk home, Scott was holding Karsten's hand to keep him from grabbing an old water bottle someone had left in the grass. He was guiding Karsten back to the sidewalk when Karsten lost his balance and his face hit the ground. I think his knees were in the grass so they didn't get scuffed up - unfortunately, his nose took the brunt of his fall and he got all scratched up.
