E and Mommy have a conversation in the bath after a very long day. E says,"I fell down again." Mommy says, "Well, even the best climbers fall. You keep climbing, buddy. You are a really good climber and jumper." E says, "but, I hurt my head." Mommy says, "Yes, yes, it hurts sometimes when you fall down." Mommy adds," Well, I imagine that people will ask you about your face when they see it. What do you want to tell them?" E says, "I don't know (he really emphasizes his "t's"...so cute)." Mommy says,"You can tell them you were on a lion hunt." He gives a blank stare. Momma later says,"Tell them you were climbing Everest, the tallest, snow covered mountain in the world."
The next day E is asked several times about his wounds, and he replies, "I got snow on it."
Mommy and Momma look at each other and shake our heads with agreement.
Map of wounds:
Forehead wound: Forehead met sidewalk while jumping off of a structure.
Nose area: Nose also met sidewalk while jumping, but also met sand when climbing on slide.
Cheek: Good imprint of sand at Dolores Park playground underneath big slide.
