My Idol Wears Spiderman Bandaids
So my son Ben came home from the first day of kindergarten with what I think is the perfect and most fitting memento, especially for a boy--an injury report. Not that I'm happy he was hurt, but because it told me he got out there and played hard. He jumped high. He ran fast. He tried something a little over his ability. He tried something new.
So he biffed it? So what?
It made me smile when I glimpsed him in the rearview mirror as he happily chattered away about his day, emptied his sand-filled shoes on the back floor of my car, Spiderman band-aids on his knee and elbow, then handed me the piece of paper. "Here, I burned-in on the playground. It was fun."
I want to be more like Ben. He was kinda my idol at that moment.

When I was a kid, they didn't do any reports like that on us. We just got a band-aid and went on about our business. I love band-aids with cartoons on them they make me happy! :)
How cute!

That is the mark of a true first day of kindy! What a little trooper
