Close Encounters of the Trash Can

The other night, Jared and I took the boys to dinner with some friends. Sage and Kai behaved really well during dinner. But, they soon reached their limit on sitting still at the table so I took them outside. Sage and Kai decided to race up and down the sidewalk while I cheered for them. Kai had just finished running and I was giving him a celebratory hug. We looked over at Sage who had drawn the attention of all our friends. He was so excited with all the attention and cheering, he closed his eyes. But he kept on running...and...BAM! Hello, trash can!

Sage ran full speed into the side of a trash can earning a collective "Oooohhhhh!" from the crowd of onlookers. I set Kai down and ran to Sage on the sidewalk who was crying, but relatively unscathed. He walked away with a bruised thumb and a swollen lip and perhaps a lesson in life (always watch where you're going).

Of course, everyone was initially sympathetic to Sage, but when we replayed the scene in our minds, we couldn't help but giggle. Poor buddy!
