To not have an explanation for every single toddler bruise?

DS2 is 3 next week. He is hypermobile and walked at 22 months. He also bruises easily. He attends preschool 3 days a week, they are aware of his hypermobility. He often has the odd bruise on his leg, which is pretty common in toddlers anyway and DS1 often had bruises on his legs at that age but the nursery he attended never asked about them.

I understand preschool wanting forms to sign or asking me to clarify how he got a head bump or a bruise in an unusual place, of course. But they also ask me to clarify where he got every single bruise. Usually I know but they have messaged me today asking how DS2 got a bruise on his leg below the knee. I honestly can't remember how he got it and I'm not sure it's realistic for me to keep track of every time he falls over, I wouldn't always necessarily know either because me and his dad are now separated and he has the children every other weekend. Are they being over-cautious or AIBU?

My kids are far older than preschool stage and are still covered in bruises from whatever stupid thing they've attempted to do this week.

They got it from their DM who can't explain most of her bruises, and now she's on blood thinners is constantly more bruise than anything else Blush
