Boo boo

When I picked up EJ this morning from school, I saw him crying in a corner. When I got closer I saw his nose area was covered with something like a paste. An assistant teacher was trying to pacify him.

I asked what happened. The assistant teacher told me a child from another class scratched his nose. EJ was crying and he said: Mommy I have a boo boo. It's ouchy!

I wiped off the paste like thing on his nose. It was still fresh and it was still bleeding.

I know it was an accident and things like these happen. But I was a little pissed off. Obviously the child had long nails. Maybe the teachers could check the children's nails everyday and inform the parents if the child has long nails. This could prevent accidents like what happened to EJ.

This is not the first time EJ went home with a scratch or an accident. One time a child closed the door while EJ was still going inside. His toe was stuck in the door and it was wounded. The skin fell off and the nail had blackened.

Accidents happen but I believe it can also be prevented.

I think I'll have a talk with the teachers tomorrow.

Now I am out here to get air filters for our room.
