Read onCanaan’s first nasty injury!
Canaan had quite the day yesterday. The whole day started off with a little poop taste testing… yuck! And ended off with a nice big cut on his hand. He was wondering around the house like usual… and he went in to the bedroom… like normal… but this time we heard a loud crash [...]
