Oh dear, He got hit harder than I did. I was at least able to stand on my own at 1st so I really don't have anything to advise you on.

My wife often tells people she has 7 children that is our 6 + me She doesn't

I get so frustrated when things aren't going as I know they should. The other day I was making my 2 year old a cup of chocolate milk and I dropped a whole gallon of milk I had just opened on the floor. I immediately felt my blood preassure going up then my 2 year old looks at me and says "Ah Ohhh daddy make mess!!!" he then proceeds to run through the house telling EVERYONE of my fodder I couldn't help but bust into laughter over his
