Skinned Knees and Chocolate Covered Faces

Joel and I were playing out on the deck this afternoon and he fell down. His legs are constantly covered in bruises from tumbling here and there, but this time was different. There was blood. The skin was scrapped off and he was bleeding. I immediately squealed and said, "Yay Buddy! You got your first skinned knee!" I didn't expect to have that reaction, it just came out. I don't know, it was just exciting to me. I tried to hold a wet rag to it but he wasn't to into that. "Take it oooooffffff!"Then when it came time to put on the Winnie the Pooh band aid he wasn't too happy. I finally put one on my leg and said, "Look, we have the same one!" That seemed to intrigue him enough to realize the band aid wasn't actually hurting him. So, that's that. First skinned knee down. 1,234,534,5343 to go.

We also shared an Oreo milkshake before the skinning of the knee. Joel's face/shirt/shorts/legs/neck and my  leg was covered in chocolate milky dripping by the time it was all over. I took a picture and when he saw it he said, "Aww Joel. Chocolate face." Haha- That kid cracks me up.
