Tanner's First Owie

Today, Tanner somehow got a hold of a soda can and started playing with it. Before we could get it out of his hand, he started crying. He had cut his finger! We felt terrible. We rushed him over to the sink to wash his finger off. He had cut the index finger on his left hand. Luckily, it was not deep -- it looked like a paper cut. We cleaned it off and stuck a band-aid on his finger.

Well, Tanner thought the band-aid was pretty cool and kept trying to stick his finger in his mouth. We didn't want him to suck the band-aid off or get his finger infected so we stuck a sock on his hand to keep him from sticking the finger in his mouth. He didn't like that too much because he couldn't grab his toys now.

Eventually, he fell asleep on the couch. He took about a thirty minute nap before waking up. When he woke up, we noticed that the sock was no longer on his hand. We looked closer and the band-aid was also gone! We looked everywhere for it and started to get worried that somehow he had eaten the band-aid right off his finger. We were getting a little nervous when I looked up and saw this:

Somehow the band-aid had stuck to his ear and came right off his finger. Alan and I could not stop laughing. It was sad to see Tanner experience his first owie but he is doing fine and we ended up with a good story and laugh.
