Stickers Can Hurt


Collin loves to put stickers on his clothes or on his skin. This started a while back when Kroger or HEB checkout clerks would give him stickers as we were in the check out line. He would take these and put them on his arm or leg. These are easy to get off because there is not too much sticky stuff on the back of them. Most of the time, he takes these off himself and throws them in the trash.
He learned the hard way today that not all stickers are alike. Apparently, school has stickers to remind parents when there is portrait day the next day. The sticker has a bear on it and says something like "Reminder: Picture Day Tomorrow". Collin ended up with two stickers somehow.......he put one on his belly. After swimming and a bath, the sticker was still on. I did not have time to search the Internet to get suggestions of how to take it off so I put Vaseline on it.....after Collin and I picked at it a little, it started to come off. Collin was telling me that it did not hurt and he was not crying....which probably meant it did hurt a little.
Wonder how long it will take him to do that again? Probably this weekend.
