Friday fun

C came home from school Friday with a cut in his Xmen shirt. I asked him what happened and he said that he was cutting his paper and the girl next to him thought he was going to cut her paper so she cut his shirt instead. He claimed to have told the teacher and was told not to tattle. I emailed her about it and then approached her about it this morning. She said he didn't talk to her about it so she couldn't do anything. She did move the little girl and talked to her and her parents about it today so hopefully it won't happen again. Obviously, I was ticked because not only is it one of his favorite shirts, but it was only a few months old. Hopefully, this is the end of it.

Friday night, the kids were playing outside and they were pretending that the Power Wheels jeep was broken. Lizzie was pushing it while C sat in it. All of a sudden, he hits the gas. She didn't think to let go so he ended up pulling her across the concrete on her feet and knees until we could get him to stop. Her knees don't look too bad because she set her weight back on her feet so her knees just got little scrapes. The tops of her feet, on the other hand, are a MESS. On both feet, she tore the hide off clear down to bleeding. She can't wear shoes right now either. All of her shoes rub on the spots and everytime I put socks on her, it pulls the scabs off. I've been putting bandaids on her feet but she picks them loose. Last night, I tried putting gauze and tape on it, thinking that it would stay better since I could wrap the tape all the way around her foot. Only not so much. She screamed like I was trying to cut off her feet instead of putting a bandage on them. I left it alone today and every time she walked, she pooped the scab back open. By bed time, her foot was a bloody mess :( I got some liquid bandaid stuff at the drug store tonight and put it on at bedtime. It says it is waterproof and lasts up to 5 days. Hopefully, it will allow the scab to form and stay. Or at least keep it from bleeding all over the place all the time.
