First Name Basis

Rex came home last week with a huge bruise on his forehead and a note from the nurse. It said, 'Rex ran into another child at recess' and came with a lengthy list of things to watch for because he suffered 'head trauma' on the playground. Nice.

Only, that's not quite what happened. He ran into the ladder for the monkey bars while playing tag. Couple of days before he came home with a band-aid on his elbow, fell on the playground. The week before on his knee, fell during morning recess. Then there was the scratch on his arm, that one happened in gym.

It seems every few days my little kindergartner goes to the nurse for another band-aid. Which only leads me to believe Rex and the nurse are already be on a first name basis.
