The Love Magnet asked if she could ride in the back of the car on the way home from school. Since we just live one street over in a residential area, I didn't think it was a problem.
Oops. (Mom-guilt! Mom-guilt!)
She didn't put her seat belt on and bumped her lip when we made a right turn. She started bleeding and crying, but told me she was strong as we drove the last 60 seconds to our home.
I asked The Love Magnet to go in the bathroom and wash her lip so I could check it. She was gone a long time (for her) and finally came down the stairs.
The Love Magnet: "Mommmmm, mmm-mf mmmmm-mf."
Me: "What did you say, Sweetie?"
The Love Magnet: "Mommmm, mmm-mf mmm-mf!"
I still didn't understand so I turned around.
Oh.
She fixed her fat lip.
Way to go, Love Magnet. Good problem solving and self doctoring.It kept her quiet for a good hour. She read books and played with her dolls until dinnertime.

Too cute! I'm glad she took care of herself. :)
Haha. My 4 yr old tries to band-aid MY mouth shut some days so I don't tell her to do certain things, like clean her room.
Lesson learned AND you got a little peace and quiet. I'd say successful Mothering! No quilt necessary! (She looks so cute!)
That is ADORABLE, she cracks me up!
Pretty innovative if you ask me.
Well if that's how you get quiet then I say good on ya
Maybe I should try this for sacrament meeting. ;)
Ha! That girl is awesome.
Carrie, that is so precious. What a blessing that cute little Love Magnet is!
