We still have more than a full month to go.  Maybe you should wait till January 1 before posting it.

Yes, just to be on the safe side, 2020 has been a real bitch, if she sees that meme there is no knowing what kind of tantrum she may throw before the end of the year, or what kind of fallout will rain on us! :whistling:

I look forward to future updates from you as they get older . . . .  :-) 

So during lockdown (18 April), it was a Saturday morning and the 3 of them were happily playing together drawing and coloring, next second a mma fight breaks out and one of the twins gets klapped in the face. Initially I was like they must sort it out like men but then I just saw blood and lots of it. I ran up to the little guy and checked above his one eye there was a seriously deep cut. Told the wife to get ice, wrap it in a lappie, press it hard against his head and get the nappy bag ready. I rushed him off to the completely empty netcare hospital. ER room takes one look at it and says call the plastic surgeon and prep him for surgery. 22 months old and he had his first plastic surgery(You can hardly see the scar now), I can only imagine the hospital/Dr visits I have planned as they get older. Riding their bikes in the driveway gets pretty hairy at times.

We got to the point where our youngest was instructed that there would be no rough play on Fridays as he would end up going for stitches on Fridays after a little rough play .....

Your story caused a whole flood of hair raising but also very good memories of all kinds of adventures that ended up in a pile. Cut tongue and split lip (Baby Jogger), broken nose (bike & Oak tree), broken leg (fall from desk), broken wrist (schooyard shinanigans), I still think the skull fracture was just in the radiologists imagination (fell out the car window, it was STATIONARY please note), lots of road rash (bikes), broken teeth, both milk teeth (wishing well) and permanent ones (hockey), bee stings (backyard) , spider bites (who knows where from), funny enough, never a black eye, never a complaint, always stuck to our story when we had to tell the wife and mother what happened. Just to be clear, my own accidents are not even included above........... but they are now 20 and 21, so I suppose it will add up........... ;)

Sounds like a normal childhood to me....

Between my brother and I we managed to deplete the medical savings account by June every year.

 

Good luck. May the odds be ever in your favor.
