If you could see poor Aidan's shins you would understand the title. His little legs are so bruised that it makes me cringe every time I have to put on another band aid. But he really is a trooper and mostly doesn't even say anything unless there is major blood involved, so I can't complain. But last Friday Aidan stubbed his big toe running around barefoot (how many times have I told him....?). He did cry with this one and I don't blame him because there was a sizeable 'hunk of meat' in his words, hanging off his toe. So we patched it up with a couple of band aids after bathtime and off to bed he went.
About an hour later I heard some whimpering so I went up to check on him. He was in my bed slathering Clinique night-time eye cream on his wound which was already covered with blue tooth-whitening toothpaste. I think I would be howling at this point, but he was just crying in silence. I asked him what he was doing and he said "I was trying to make it better". I gave him a big kiss for effort, washed and patched it up again and that was the last I heard. But true to his words, when I took the band aid off two days later it was completely healed. So if anyone out there has a sore that won't heal, you know what to try!
