I think we are in the CPS phase.

I swear if someone studies my child's legs they will call CPS on me. He falls a lot and with shorts on, he gets lots of cuts and bruises. I swear he has 10 bruises on just one leg. They don't bother him but look horrible. I will be glad when he gets out of the falling down while running stage.

LOL, us too! Alana has scratches all over her belly becuase she scratches herself. This morning, she got a big scratch on her cheek. And, she falls all the time running, too and has scrapes and bruises on her knees. I also notices a big bruise on her thigh this morning. Oh, and let's not forget the chipped tooth from falling down the stairs a few weeks ago. We had her 18 month checkup today and I commented to my mother that they were going to call the police on me!

Right there with you, plus Sophie got 3 bruises on her face this weekend and a nice bruise on her elbow after falling while trying to get out of her toddler bed after her nap today

LOL!

I was so relieved at DDs 2 year appointment when I mentioned DDs beat up legs, and she said if she doesn't see bruises, scrapes, scratches and a hint of a tan line, she worries, because that means the child isn't living life with gusto.

Garrison has been covered in bruises and bandaids for a couple of months now.

Then, one night when she wasn't actually too "beaten up", she insisted on sitting on the potty for an hour before bed and putting every single hello kitty in the box on her body, she was quite a scene showing up at grandma's the next morning.

Oh no, LOL!

Somehow Kira developed a bit of a black eye on Sunday -- we noticed it as we were leaving the GTG! I have *NO* idea how that happened -- she didn't go bar hopping. Her legs are continually scratched and mosquito bitten though, so I know what you mean!

My DS is the same way. And the pedi actually made a comment today on how bruised his legs are, but wasn't worried about neglect or anything.

Aaron has always been really clumsy and really doesn't pay attention to wear he's walking.

Be glad he's not top heavy. Every single one of Ollie's injuries has been squarely on his face. At least you can hide legs!

I feel ya, DS1 had 3 sets of stitches before he turned 2. Fortunately for me the first two occurred while he was with sitters so it mostly wasn't on my watch.

Sorry to break it to you but as soon as they're out of the falling down running stage they're into the scraping the leg jumping off a retaining wall or hanging from the swing set.

At 3 and almost 5 mine both look like their legs have been thru the ringer.

And Jace has a big goose egg on his head.

I don't even bother with neosporin and band aids any more.
