The other day, Jaia and I walked over to the store with a freezie (a.k.a. a distraction) in hand. \u00a0Hers was berry, mine was apple flavoured. \u00a0We were enjoying ourselves and having an excellent chat. \u00a0AS we rounded the corner, a raised sidewalk sent Jaia flying. She scraped her knee and hands and was terribly sad. \u00a0In fact, the tears were bigger and heavier than they should be for the small scrape on her knee.<\/p>\n

I tried to console her but she was having none of it. \u00a0Kisses from mama proved fruitless. \u00a0I finally realized that it wasn’t pain that was upsetting her. \u00a0Between devastated sobs she asked me if her skin was still on the ground outside.<\/p>\n

It caught me off guard. \u00a0I had never thought about it that way. \u00a0And really, why wouldn’t she think that? \u00a0I love, love, love the way her beautiful mind works. \u00a0She so innocently helps me see things in a brand new way so often…<\/p>\n

I also have to admit that we’ve been having a little fun with the scrape. \u00a0We have Jaia convinced that her boo boo is in the shape of a crown. \u00a0A princess crown. \u00a0And she’s eating it up and telling everyone (strangers included) about her crown-shaped scrape – because only real princesses scrape themselves in the shape of a crown.<\/p>\n

I should put a pea under her mattress and see what happens…<\/p>\n
