today bee got herself deep into a project that was entirely self motivated and created. as i scurried about in the kitchen unloading grocery bags, making lunch and simultaneously tossing o's at a screaming baby dinosaur, bee busied herself with making her own band-aids.
this project is directly rooted in bee's passion for all things medical, especially band-aids. not a day goes by when she doesn't ask, beg, even cry for a band-aid for all sorts of injuries, real and pretend. today's project is the type of thing that i love to see bee do. it's so creative and she is so invested in it because it is all her idea. she didn't ask me for a bit of help. in fact i had no idea what she was doing and when she was done she came out to the kitchen to show off her nice, big band-aids. 
one has a self portrait of bee, and the first initial of her middle name. she said she thought of the design because she once had a barbie band-aid and so "i liked that one with a girl on it and i decided to make one with a girl, so i made a picture of me." i find that unbelievably cute on so many levels. i'm not ashamed to admit that the main reason i like that statement is that i'm proud that bee doesn't know barbie's name. yet.the back of the band-aids have tape to hold them on and a nice soft piece of tissue in the center for the boo boo part. to me, it's genius.
