5. Two bite marks that are healing: Willow has discovered her weapon of choice.
4. Repetitive stress injury in my shoulder from pushing 75 pounds of kid around in the double stroller.
3. Lower-case-i-shaped bruise on the bottom of my foot from stepping on a #%*@! piece of the magnetic Leapfrog alphabet in the dark.
2. Twisted knee from slipping on the kitchen tile after Billy discovered the ice maker and left a puddle of melting ice in the middle of the floor.
1. Bitten tongue from being tackled unexpectedly from behind after an inexplicable scream of “Get the bumblebee!”
