SELF-HEALING
It's great. I have a self-healing kid!
When it was time to change his diaper this evening, he was very unhappy about it. I found a still-sticky sticker lying on the stairs and gave it to him to cheer him up. While he was on the changing pad, he played with sticker and discovered a red line on his thumb.
"Oh no, Mommy. My have owwie!"
"I think that's just some marker, bud. Did you draw with a red marker today?"
"No, iss owwie."
"Oh, okay."
"My need ban-aid owwie."
Great, I think. How can I distract him from this one? Redirect... redirect...
Then he has a great idea. He slaps the sticker on the red marker line and says, "See my ban-aid my owwie!"
Stickers are sticky, band-aids are sticky, why not?
