The Drama of a 7 Year Old

Last night I had a little drama with Ally. (REALLY?!?! Drama with ALLY? Nooooooo.....)

That day during school, she had fallen down at recess and scraped up her hands. No blood, no big deal. Well, apparently it traumatized her enough that she decided she needed to pack a little first aid kit for herself, complete with a squirt bottle, toilet paper, and of course, candy. She put all this in a mini backpack and was determined to take it with her to school the next day for recess. Needless to say, I was against this idea and told her it was a no go. Tears were shed which led to an unhappy bedtime.

Now, Ally got these handy little post it notes on her birthday, compliments of my sister, and she decided to put them to good use. Whilst in bed, she wrote some notes to me expressing her feelings on the matter.

This is what I found on her bed railing later that night when I went to check on the girls:


*Translation: Why couldn't you be nice. To mom. From Ally. ; I can't stand it. I want to take the little backpack mom!

Despite my determination to not allow this backpack to go to school the next, somehow she still snuck it in on me. Why do I even try?

first: when did little Ally get old enough to write notes.

Second: I laughed really hard, because that has got to be one of the cutest things ever, she found good use of a birthday present.

third: taking a first aid kit to school isn't such a bad thing. I carry hand sanitizer...hah

fourth: i hope you cherish those notes, I think they are adorable.

Fifth: I can see Ally's cute face with a sad face because she can't take the first aid kit to school along with the piece of candy that is sure to cheer her up when she gets sick.

sixth: what is it with kids obsession with band aids. I don't get it. I hate band aids, they are nasty. If barbie, princess, sponge bob, hello kitty band aids would have never been designed, kids wouldn't like them so much. I hope to not introduce my children to those, if they get hurt, they will get the good ol' ugly brown ones, so they too will grow to dislike them just like their mother, and only getting a band aid when deemed necessary. Band aids are a little bit exaggerated in a child's existence.

okay and the band aid thing was way off, but still it's 5 in the morning and I wanted to vent to you my hate of band-aids don't plus I totally inserted (band-aids) into the kit, all on my own. I am sure the squirt bottle is to clean the wounds, and the toilet paper is to dry it up. she's a smart little girl. you just wait.

haha You crack me up Chelsea! Let me respond in the same manner you did.

First: Ally has just barely started being able to form sentences when she writes. It has started to get really interesting around here. ;)

Second: Yes I will be saving those notes for sure! I have just started to try to get into scrapbooking so hopefully they'll end up in a scrapbook one day.

Third: You're not way off on the bandaid thing. She's like any other kid who thinks they need a bandaid after ANY injury. She probably would have packed some if she knew where they were. ;)
