My charge has moved on from last week’s dinosaur fascination to this week’s craze – Bandaids. He somehow managed to find a box of Toy Store Bandaids in his room (I think I purchased them for a first aid kit on his first birthday) – since then I have honestly not seen the little dude without a least one adhesive bandage gracing his little person somewhere (preferably on his legs). The sad moment came when the Toy Store Bandaid box finally emptied and Z resorted to a ballpoint pen drawing on a ‘yuckie’ i.e. plain Bandaid of Buzz Lightyear (it did not receive rave reviews from Texas sadly)…..so last night I told him we could go after dinner and get some more.

Since my tiny charge is the only charge I will ever have and because he is practically perfect I thought it completely reasonable to allow him to select four different character themed bandage boxes on our shopping trip. Much to Z’s annoyance his second selection (after Cars- his other recent love) was Hello Kitty – he then selected more Toy Story and Winnie the Pooh for good measure. Before departing for home he already had a Hello Kitty one on his leg and clutched the other three boxes in his sweaty little paws until we got home.

By the time I got upstairs for pjs he had an additional three on his leg and was refusing pants because he would not be able to admire them as easily. In the end he decided after all that – ‘Bandaid ouchie’ and we removed them all in time for him to got to sleep. All in a day’s work.
