Is your LO obssesed with band aids? My 3.5 loves them. Every scrape, bump or bruise, she will ask for a band aid. Today she said she got a boo boo on her finger at school. I honestly can't see what's wrong with it. She complained that I hurt it while washing her hands. I offered to put a band aid and neosporin on it. After I put the band aid on, the boo miraculously didn't hurt any more. 🙄
3 year olds are such drama queens.

My kids love bandaids! Haha I'm including a box of character bandaids in the favor bags I'm putting together for J's party!

Yes and we must keep a band aid on the boo boo for 3 weeks at least!

Yes my LO asks for an ice pack and band aid for every bump and scrape--real and imaginary!

Yes! And when one gets a bandaid, brother or sister has to have one too!

So I'm going to put a PSA out there after experiencing this - if you put a fake (or real actually!) band aid on a finger or toe, make sure you check it and put a fresh band aid on every day.
I usually let DD keep bandaids on until they fall off, especially for fake injuries, but recently she had a (fake injury) bandaid on her finger, and she somehow twisted it so tight and had it on for a few days too tight. When I took it off, her finger was all blistered and cut up and really gross looking - we had a well child visit at the ped the next day and even the doctor was shocked with how nasty her finger looked! It took a few weeks for it to heal.

I saw something somewhere that said a Mom with character bandaids is a Mom with no bandaids, and that holds true in my house, haha.
Actually my LO loves the Frozen bandaids and she drives me nuts because she wants a specific character for her Boo Boos. Like God FORBID I open up a Olaf when she wants Anna! It cannot go on her body!!!

Bandaids are magic. We went for a walk in the woods to walk the dog today. She got tangled up in some thorns, so I had to detach the branch from her coat and dress, in the process getting myself stuck several times.
We got back inside and both got bandaids. Hers was taken off 15 minutes later because her booboo was better, but I had to keep mine because she said it still had a booboo. Took it off when she went to bed, lol.

@HappyBaker: oh no! Hope it didn't take too long to heal. And yes, I never let her keep it on overnight. I tell her it has to "breathe" to get better.
@sunny: yes to the ice pack!!!! LOL

@HappyBaker: don't! I only do it because *Ive* left band aids on myself after a bath and overnight and I know it gets all white and yucky under from the moisture.
