The grass is turning greener.

The weather is getting hotter.

And I’ve got a real problem on my hands.

Pretty little precious knees.

20 month old knees to be exact.

That were perfect.  Not a scratch to be had.

Until it got too warm to wear pants everyday.  And we started to dress those pretty little knees in pretty little dresses.

And then those pretty little knees coupled with big wobbly heads went kerplunk onto the hard gravelly concrete.

And we got our first scraped knees ever.

The first of many I suppose.

She didn’t cry.

I didn’t have any bandaids. Or napkins.

So I licked it clean with my mouth. In public. While I was in the middle of a conversation. With somebody I barely know. I just scooped her up, kissed her cheek, and licked the mess out her bloody knee.  I’m not kidding.

Gross, but loving.  It’s much more apealing when a Mama Cat does it to her kitten.  Not so cute when its a Mama Woo with frizzy hair and a bloody gravelly baby/toddler. Spitting pebbles out of my mouth as I’m trying to finish my conversation.

Maybe I should just keep her in pants forever.

And save her from her from the boo boos of the world.

And save myself from appearing even stranger than I already do.

I should really make something to make that baby feel better.

Only she doesn’t like anything but strawberries and bananas.

Boring, cute, wobbly kid.

Guess I’ll just have to make something to make myself feel better.

It’ll benefit her indirectly.

It’s the circle of life.

Mamas happy. Everyone’s happy.
