Winter mittens - check!
Black eye - check!
Caden collided with another child from his day-care on the playground last week. The point of contact was just above his eyebrow which resulted in a black eye that he said didn't hurt much, but he looked a bit rough for a few days.
Add to it, the life vest (at his request - reminiscent of the fun he had on the Baune's boat at Lake Okoboji a few weeks ago) and the mittens (my suggestion to take advantage of a teaching moment about not touching Dada's hot lawn mower engine), and he was quite the sight!
