Skinned Knees



Addy skinned her knees for the first time ever today. I feel so bad! Addy and Christian were at the park playing earlier today and she was so excited to be there. She was running up the sidewalk saying " park I love you, I missed you park", and she tripped on a crack in the cement and fell. Addy was sad but she didn't cry. She was more concerned that she had to have medicine and a band-aid. Christian told her she didn't have to just yet.


Benson and I came a little later and brought lunch over for a little picnic. Addy came running to me and said " no medicine, not yet". I felt so bad! Her knees look like they hurt. When we got home Addy wouldn't get out of the car. She said she wanted to just stay in her seat. I thought she wanted to go with her dad to work since he was leaving in a few minutes. It all came down to not wanting to go inside because she was scared to get a band-aid. I'm not sure why she is so scared of them.





I asked Addy if I could take a picture of her knees. She immediately started crying and ran to her room. She didn't even want to look at them herself. I convinced her to let me but she cried the entire time. I am so mean! I eventually was able to bandage her up. I agreed to put a band-aid on both my knees, which made things a little better. I changed her out of her dress and into pants so she could go back outside to play. She is scared to sit down or bend her legs. I am sure her knees are sore. I had to pick her up to lay her down so she could snuggle up for the night. Hopefully her knees will heal fast!




I couldn't leave this cute little guy out! Benson was hanging out in the stroller while Addy and I were coloring on the driveway tonight. He is such a handsome boy! His hair looks really auburn in the sunlight. He might be a red head.




I love his smile. Those cheeks are the best to kiss!

Poor thing! Jackson fell on our Sunday walk and skinned his knees too... I guess it's going to happen more often when the weather is as nice as it has been. Can I just say I LOVE little Benson's cheeks! He is so scrumptious:)

Oh poor little Addy! She was so happy to be at the park and then she fell :( I can't help but giggle a little about the picture of her crying. It is so sad, I wonder why she is afraid of band-aids?

Benson is changing so much! He is so cute.
