I told you this kid is accident prone. Now he doesn't just need a helmet, he needs a full body suit. Yesterday, he kept jumping on the couch and Ben kept telling him to stop 'cause he was going to get hurt....lo and behold, a few seconds later he fell and bonked his face on the armrest. He, of course started crying and his nose started bleeding. He kept telling us something that we couldn't understand. He tried to wiggle away from me, but his nose was bleeding so I kept holding him, all the while he kept saying this same word over and over.FINALLY we realized that he was saying band aid. But how the heck do you put a band aid on a kid whose nose is bleeding?? Like this, I guess. It helped anyway - he stopped crying and walked around with a band aid on his upper lip for a while.
Laney never wants band aids. She will bleed all over and still not want a band aid. We can't even look at her owie, she covers it up and screams bloody murder. When she goes to the Dr. in the summer to get shots, I either have to bring something to cover up her leg when we go home or have her wear long pants. It's so interesting how kids are so different.
