We always thought of Sumayah as the wild one...and then Yusuf happened! He acts like Houdini and looks like Rocky Balboa. He's always climbing on everything, often resulting in him having an altercation with the floor...or the table...or the cupboard...or the wall. He's become so accustomed to knocking his forehead that he usually just gets up, gives the sore area a quick smack and off he goes. Usually he ends up with a bruise, but there have been a few bloody incidents too. The 2 most recent happened within a few days of each other both times involving his bottom lip. He has this habit of standing on the desk chair facing the back and leaning against it! Disaster is narrowly avoided by me running to take him off. But it is impossible to have your eye on him 100% of the time so it was inevitable that he would one day fall. It just so happens that it happened on dad's watch. I was at a kiddies party with Sumayah and Uthmaan and when I returned I discovered what could be described as a murder seen...there was blood everywhere! There was a bloody cloth in the bath, blood on the carpets, a bloody jacket and blood stained pillow on the bed. Then Yaasier recounted how he went to the bathroom when he heard a thump and a cry. He came out of the bathroom to find Count Dracula with blood dripping down his chin running around the room laughing!
A few days later his lip again fell victim to one of his other favourite monkey tricks...climbing on the dining table benches and using it as a balance beam. I had just gone upstairs to fetch something when I heard Bilaal calmly call out 'mommy! Yusuf fell off the bench now his lip is bleeding...alot!' And Sumayah in a more panicked tone 'mommy come quick theres blood mommy!' So I quickly go downstairs to once again find him looking like a vampire who had just had his dinner running around laughing with delight while bright red blood dripped down his chin.
