And In This Corner...

That's right. This poster pretty much sums it up. Christian and our iPod docking station had a serious bout last night. So serious that it sent poor Christian to the local Instacare facility.

Was there blood? Yes.
Was there crying? Yes. But don't worry, I calmed down relatively quickly.

Turns out that placing a heavy object with a dangling electrical cord, like an iPod dock, on something tall, like a piano, when there's a toddler in the house, is NOT using good common sense. Who would have thought? We've paid for our folly. Especially Christian, who now has a gaping wound held together by 3 strategically placed staples in the top of his head.

For you heartless souls that are wondering about the condition of the iPod dock—you should be ashamed of yourselves! But Mr. Dock will live to fight another day. He tried to regain our good graces by playing his classical music till all hours of the morning. Oh, he's a wily one. But we've got our eyes on him now. Fool me once...

Christian is doing well. It's hard getting through childhood unscathed. But on a positive note, with three staples in his head, Christian might make a pretty convincing Frankenstein this Halloween.
