He never forgets

Joshua makes us laugh on a daily basis, as I think most toddlers do with their parents!

A few weeks ago we were outside and Joshua fell and skinned his knee on the pavement, while he was figuring out how to react to the situation I was thinking of how to avoid a meltdown. I jumped into action and said "Yay Joshua you got your first Big Boy Owie!" He gave me a puzzled look and examed his scraped knee and said "owie mommy" but there were no tears. When we got home we cleaned the scrape and put a bandaid on his knee. He wore the bandaid proudly and didn't try to take it off.

However for the rest of the week, we removed the bandaid after one day, he reminded us regularly for at least a week lifting up the leg of his pants/shorts to showing us his wound.
