My son is 5 and likes to show me all of his booboos. He tells me how he got each one, and if it's fresh he will usually tell me how much it hurts.
My daughter is 3 1/2 and likes to talk about her booboos too. Her one saving grace is that she also asks me to kiss her booboos. After I do, she says that it's all better. If it still hurts after a booboo kiss, then it's usually a pretty serious injury!
Do your LOs make a big deal out of their booboos?

Not really. He points it out, and either we give him a kiss or tell him to give it a kiss, and life continues on as normal.

Sometimes they ask for kisses but it isn't a big production.

Oh yes! Poor kid obsessively kisses her boo boos and then does a sad "mama! Boo boo!" over and over. It's the saddest thing ever! She also says "all better" after kissing them but then rediscovers them later and we have to start all over haha.

DD is 29 months old. She'll point it out and say "boo boo" or "ouchy". I'll kiss it or she will kiss it herself and say "all better!".

Yes she notices every little tiny nick and she has to mention it every time she thinks about it. DH is artistic so we got her to stop bugging for the pricy princess band aids and now he draws fairies and what not on her Bandaids. Awww-the magic cure of the boo-boo kiss is always the best though.

Not at all. She will fall and we ask if she is okay and she will either say I'm okay, brush herself off and resume her activity. OR she will say I'm not okay, and we proceed to hug and tell her its okay. She will cry for a bit but then she will be okay and resume her activity. we never made it a big deal when if she fell or got hurt.

It depends. If it's just a scratch, no. But if she skins her knees, it's over. Right now, she's still talking about her knees and she scraped them last week.

Yes. She'll ask for a bandage even if it's a tiny spec of an already tried up scab. Once I put on a bandage, she usually asks for another one because she wants the surrounding area covered. She's turning 3 soon.

When he hurts himself he asks for ice, I think daycare must always give him ice. I try to not make a big deal of when he hurts himself though, since usually it is something minor.

No, in fact he is oddly chill about injuries. One time he busted his lip and it was bleeding everywhere and was disgusting and he was just like whatevs.
