Band Aid Girl

Ms. Crazy Preschooler is obsessed with getting bandaids. For any little scrape on her skin, especially those that are not bleeding, she just insists on a band aid. I know this is a normal thing. I should have remembered this four year old fascination with sticky bandages when I was browsing in Target a few weeks ago. But I didn't, and I purchased Sesame Street bandaids as a special treat. Colorful. Tantalizing. And best of all sticky! She just cannot resist them. The other day I caught her giving herself paper cuts on purpose to try to accumulate a greater collection of bandaids on her fingers. Anyway, yesterday she scraped her knuckle on the sidewalk while using sidewalk chalk, and I decided the easiest thing was just to give in even though there was no blood involved, with the stipulation that I would later have picture taking rights for the band aid.
