Here it is:
Uh-Oh!!
The title I chose for this post is due to a series of "accidents" we've had lately where Blake throws our dishes on the floor and they break. I'm starting to lose count of the casualties...we've tried and tried to train him not to throw his silverware, cups, bowls, etc, but it just isn't working perfectly. He's gotten immensely better, but he still does it and whenever I leave a glass dish out on the table, it is in grave danger.
You would think that hardwood floors would help cushion the blow a bit, but I'm pretty sure he actually throws the dish as opposed to dropping it (somehow, it is always when I am not looking...). He's even broken a couple of Cornell ware, which is supposed to be extremely break-proof. This particular glass shattered pretty bad, so shards flew a ways. It is hard to clean up as well b/c there is usually something wet in the dish, making it harder to sweep up.
He's only gotten glass in his foot once and it was due to something that Caitlin accidentally knocked off the patio furniture (totally not her fault), but it is quite difficult to get every piece of glass off of concrete b/c of how porous it is. I swept it a few times, but still missed one. Blake didn't even cry, just limped on his foot every once in a while and I didn't even check until I brought him inside and noticed some blood on the floor. Oops :s Conveniently, he wanted to touch his owie and somehow worked the glass out just as I was looking for a tweezers, so I got to avoid that uncomfortable task!
