Motor Skills

So when does your toddler finally master their Motor skills? Mine seems to have a clumsy streak that he hasn't outgrown yet. I'm still waiting for that to happen but in the meantime he almost needs a hockey helmet to wear, especially when he's tired. It's like his legs don't work when he's almost ready for sleeptime.
Last night after dinner our little guy decided it would be fun to climb around the coffee table, of course he slipped and smacked his head on the table (which i'm ready to toss at this point) and then scratched himself in the forehead and while in the tub smacked the back of his head on the tub spout! Phew, and he also had an odd hive reaction I think to the tomatoes in his spagetti...ugh what a crazy night. I was happy when he finally fell asleep and got some rest.

I'm still waiting for the clumsy phase to pass but until then we will continue to keep the ice packs in the freezer for the bumps and bruises along the way. :)
