"Skinned knee D"

Yesterday was our first day at our new pool club (at Boston Sports Club here in Wellesley).  It was also Mikey's first experience with having both of his knees scraped up.  I remember as a kid the first day I wore shorts my knees would be cut up.  Here it has taken Mikey 4 years!  Mikey didn't cry initially but as I tried to clean out the cuts and bandage them up, then he started to protest...okay, more like scream bloody murder.  This morning he called me from his bed because he couldn't move.  He walked in a zombie like motion, hardly bending his knees due to the bandages.  So dramatic!

One Mikey's favorite books of the week is "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom".  The whole alphabet climbs up the coconut tree and the tree goes "boom boom".  "Skinned knee D" is injured in the collapse and now Mikey has dubbed himself "skinned knee D".
