Sawyer tripped and pulled his big toe nail half way off. It wasn't pretty. Since lsat night, he's been changing the bandaids every 20 minutes. We've gone through our year's supply and then some. When he was down to the last bandaid, he felt a little insecure when the edges started to come unpeeled. Hence, the green toe. I've heard of green thumbs but I have to admit this was a first. Since we're wrapping up the school year and have been eagerly awaiting report cards, I'd give him an A in science for not choosing a poisonous leaf, an A in creative writing for being creative enough to solve his bandaid problem, and an A in arts: thinking outside the box.

Ouch! I think I'd take him to the doctor's just to be sure it doesn't get infected. The doctor can probably trim the toenail so he doesn't snag it on anything. Better to be wearing sneakers instead of those open toe flip flops. Too many accidents can happen with that type of footwear. Hope he isn't too uncomfortable, and he certainly was ingenious with the latest bandage.
Love the green bandage for you toe Sawyer!--You know, before band-aids the Native Americans and our ancestors actually used plants to aid in healing wounds--I'd say that Sawyer's just using some good natural instinct. You go Sawyer!
Cute AND funny! :) Can't wait to have you here...it seems like forever...
He is a genius! That's a kid who knows how to solve his own problems. You won't have to worry about him when he's older. Great job Sawyer!
...wrapping up the school year; wrapping up the toe!
Great use of available resources!
An 'A' from me, too!

I love it!!
Like Kermet, green is a favorite color.

Way to be inventive! I love the look- green is in! Paki's mom would do the same thing for a hurt toe in Samoa- there are such healing leaves out there- besides aloe. Very smart Sawyer.
