First Week of Summer

Mia had a fun-filled first week of summer. She went to "camp" for the first time on Monday and Wednesday. She played in her new sprinkler, though it took some coaxing. We went to the pool a few times. She used lots of sunscreen. She spent hours getting pushed/pulled up and down the driveway in her toy car and wagon by her Mom and Dad.

And then there were the injuries:
Two mosquito bites that Mia reacted quite strongly to. (They are red, hard, raised bumps that aren't going away any too quickly.)

One mysterious little red bump on her leg that we can't figure out.
One slightly skinned cheek. (Lost her balance in the kiddie pool.)
Two skinned elbows.
Four skinned knees. (Yup. Both knees, twice.)

What to do? For one thing, we're dressing her in capri-length pants rather than shorts, at least until the skinned knees heal. We'll be saying, "Walk, don't run!" more often. And I think we've concluded that two adults are required anytime Mia goes to the swimming pool. She likes running around on the pool deck, which is hazardous to little knees.
