Scraped Knees

I have no idea how we lasted this long, but the boys both got their first scraped knees this week. Connor tripped in our driveway late last week & scraped one of his knees, then a few days later they both tripped within seconds of each other & got scraped knees.

Connor's double-owie


Isaac's owie


The funniest thing was Isaac's reaction. He didn't really cry when it happened. He didn't even complain when I cleaned it off. He was inconsolable when he was playing on the floor shortly thereafter and he realized that there was something on his knee & he couldn't get it off. He was obsessed with getting that "thing" off of his knee.

We thought maybe we could cover it with a bandaid so he wouldn't be so distressed by it. No sir. He knew it was still under there, so he wanted both the bandaid and the owie off, pronto. It took a good 30 minutes and an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba to distract him & make him forget about his knee.
