Nine days

Yesterday, Clare was playing with some wooden toys next to another child and the two started to argue. The child hit Clare on the forehead with the toy - owie! Rather than retaliate (hooray, Clare!!), she went to her teacher to show her the "injury."  The toy left quite a mark and a little bit of a scrape, but Clare insisted that she needed a band-aid.  The teacher relented and sent her to the nurse's office.  After the nurse applied the bandage, she set out to meet the school's requirements for when a bandage is applied - including calling me at work to make me aware of the injury and preparing a "Boo-Boo Report."  Ha!  Nine days in and Clare is already creating unnecessary paperwork :-)

The worst part of the whole thing was taking that bandage off of Clare's little forehead last night - it was not easy and it was not pretty.  But she's all better tonight!
