Injury prone & exhibitionist

If you asked me how Nathan's weekend was, two words come to mind: exhibitionist & injury-prone. I don't know if it's a part of growing up, but he is definitely getting more scrapes, bruises and bumps.  

Saturday (9/17) morning:
Every Saturday morning, I take a tennis class at IVC. To occupy the kids, Linh took Nathan, Ryan and Einstein for a walk. Nathan decided to ride his bike rather than walk. Less than a minute into their walk, Nathan tips his bike and falls into the gutter. He is now covered in muddy gutter water. Poor Nathan had to ride around the neighborhood and Tustin Ranch Road covered in gutter water. 

Saturday (9/17) afternoon: 
Linh and I are in the front yard putting up our UCLA Bruins flag. Nathan disappears into the house and is gone for awhile. As I'm adjusting the flag, Linh yells "Hong". I look up to see Nathan standing butt-naked from the waist down in front of the garage.
Me: "Nathan, why are you naked?!?"
Nathan: "Because I pooped! Mommy, are you proud?" 
Who knows how long he was standing there. Luckily, no one was walking their dog or driving by at the time! 

Sunday (9/18) morning: 
Linh is washing the cars and lets Nathan help spray the water. Of course, Nathan goes a little overboard and sprays water into the garage. This makes the epoxied garage floors extra slippery, so when he runs into the house, slips on the water, falls backward and hits his head on the cement. Poor Nathan comes into the house, crying with a huge bump on the back of his head. I ask Linh to give Nathan something to ice his bump and what does he give him? A Tina's burrito, of course.
