It scares me because I can see the fear in his eyes. It is even worse when I say we need to take the kids to the ER/ Quick clinic, when I am home.

I'm a student.. But my 4 year old said to me last night, "mommy, I need a band-aide or my boo boo will get BACTERIA in it!!" (in a frantic voice) lol.

He'll probably be like the one posters 4 year old who went to school talking about nursing stuff. He is already way into learning anything that mommy is. And he loves the bones! I've been trying to talk my husband into letting me buy a skeletal man! Yeah, he won't give in. Way too creeped out about it. Hahaha.
