It was just your ordinary fall day at our house, until Adam said "What did you do Andrew?" and I looked over to see blood all over Andrew. We quickly learned 5 things:
1. Leg wounds bleed a lot. He fell off his bike yesterday and scrapped his leg. He apparently reopened the wound while watching t.v. today. Unaware he was bleeding, he proceeded to get blood all over both legs and his arm.
2. Andrew cries at the sight of blood. His wound obviously didn't hurt since he was completely unaware he was injured until Adam said something. At the sight of blood, he burst into tears and proceeded to wail like he had lost a leg.
3. Our couch does not show blood stains. Really. There were several smears of blood across the seat cushion. We wiped them off with water and you can't see them any more.
4. Bactine stings. You can quote Andrew on that.
5. Candy corn cures everything. After being bandaged, Andrew is sitting on my lap still wailing at the top of his lungs. I handed him a couple of pieces of candy corn and he stopped crying in an instant. It was like someone hit the off button.
So that was our morning. How was yours?
