As the weather gets warmer, it seems that scraped knees are a right of passage. Uh-ohs and boo-boos become everyday words. While every mama hates to see their little one get hurt, it’s hard not to melt when asked to kiss a boo-boo. Ive kissed MR’s sweet knees a dozen times since her fall on Friday. I’m pretty sure the fall hurt me more than it hurt her. I’m also pretty sure that MR would fall again and again if it meant getting her own bag of M&M’s and an endless amount of attention from strangers who cant bear but harp on her strawberry knees.
Fortunately for MR, we’ve had plenty of company to show off those prize boos-boos to. Uncle Will and K-Lee came into town late Friday night and on Saturday, we welcomed Papa Joe and Meme for the remainder of the weekend. They were kind enough to watch Mary Reese while Garrett and I went out to celebrate Uncle B’s 30th birthday. A late night out and a few too many cocktails made this mornings early wake up call particularly difficult.
Saying goodbye to Papa Joe and Meme this morning was also hard. Thankfully, we’ve got our neighborhoods Easter egg hunt to look forward to later this afternoon. We’ve also got an Easter bunny costume waiting in the closet to surprise all of the kids! Earlier in the week, I had Garrett try on the costume so that he could take some pictures with MR. Surprisingly, I did not have to beg too hard to get him to comply. The pictures, boo-boos in all, are priceless!
oh my gosh, that bunny costume is so funny! Go G!!! I don’t know if I could get Chris to do that! MRs little knees are so cute!
Great costume! You should wear that to the Braves game on Sunday!
