Raven, funny you mention the scraping of the knees - in my house, if you scraped your knees and were crying about it, you had to go home and stay there. Guess what? We lived with it, if there was water around we'd wash it up, if not, *the bloods gonna dry fast - don't tell mommy* and we'd continue to play!
