Tattoo band-aids for your little rebel

As was the case when I was a child, any injury my toddler suffers can only be cured by the application of a band-aid. It's been months since Edan realized that a kiss from Daddy is, in fact, completely ineffective when it comes to stabilizing an owie -- yet, for whatever reason, I think she actually feels less pain when I stick a band-aid on her boo boo, as if it actually made a difference.

Go figure.

Also of late, she's begun to notice adults' tattoos. The woman who runs Edan's daycare has a small tattoo on her ankle that the kids like, and for awhile they'd all decided that'd it'd be cool to get their own. Every time Edan told me that she'd be getting "so many tattoos," I told her that I thought that was "great" -- because, honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about it, but that battle is years down the road, and I've resigned myself not to worry about it until then. Plus, the idea of gettin' inked seems to make her happy, and who am I to judge?

In any case, I think these tattoo band-aids might be a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Every time she has a scrape, I'll not only be able to cure it, but I can also give some bad-ass (albeit temporary) body art.

Awesome.
