Skinned knee

Charlotte tripped in the parking lot this evening and skinned a knee and an elbow pretty badly. I saw it happen and I winced as I watched, as if in slow motion, her fall and then literally skid forward across the asphalt. She was a pretty good sport about it. She carefully washed the boo-boo on her elbow at the sink all by herself. She consented to get into the bath to wash her knees. We dressed her in shorts for pj's and when Derek tucked her in he told me that she carefully pulled the blanket up and stuck her knees out so that everything was under the covers except her knees.
