Dr. Z and the Splinters

Zane got wood splinters in his hand yesterday from dragging it along wood. This after (or because) his Mom warned him not to do it. So before bed he got a long bath in the hopes that it might help loosen the splinters a bit. It may have, if Zane would have let me actually try. He’s a take-charge kind of kid and immediately wanted the tweezers so he could remove HIS OWN splinters, thank you very much! We spent a little time trying to learn tweezing (?) and while there was a few valiant attempts we didn’t manage to remove a single splinter.

Tonight: needles! (or not)

  1. Hmmm. Splinters might be a two parent operation, followed perhaps by a run to grandparent.

  2. It went like this:

    Zane, stop dragging your hands along that fence, you’ll get splinters. repeat 20 times

    remove hands 20 times

    walk back same way

    give up
