Bandaid

Looks like we have confirmation that the pain Declan felt in his legs last weekend were in fact growing pains.

He is now officially, just over 3 feet 10 inches tall.

And yes he has a scratch on his chin. He thinks it makes him look tough. He got it when he scratched himself when I was tickling him...at his request.

He also fell off the bed, backwards, head first. Yes I panicked that he'd hurt his neck but he says he folded in half and that his chest hurt. I checked him over and he seems to have pulled his chest muscles but no bruises or broken bones.

Declan then told me that tough guys have lots of marks.

I asked from what and he said 

from punching stuff, and people.

I told him that we don't punch people though. He said he knows. I also told him not to punch any girls ever. He said you "don't punch girls ever. Nope. They're the worst. They just go and be bad and hit people and get away with it."

They learn so young.

He doesn't seem to have Girl problems though. Daddy picked him up from school today. Before they left Jessica stepped right up to Declan, grabbed him and leaned in real close. Declan didn't flinch but Mrs. Ritu yelled "Jessica!!" And she stopped.

What is going on!?!
