I have quite bad anxiety and my little boy had his leg amputated 11 weeks ago so I can tend to be quite sensitive about things to do with him recently, so go easy on me 😁
My little boy is almost 2 and is generally very good at communicating with me in his own little way.
He has come home from nursery with around 4-5 small circular bruises on his lower arm.
I kissed them better (as he likes me to do with all little injuries, even his little healed stump every night😁) and asked him what happened.
He tends to tell me things by rein-acting what has happened rather than sentences as his speech isn't amazing yet (he's not even 2 for another couple of months).
He starts pretending to pinch his arm saying 'owie owie' - like he's telling me someone pinched him and it hurt; the little bruises do look like little pinch marks too. These last 2-3 weeks he has also suddenly started sobbing at drop off too which he never did before, but this could just be a coincidence.
Would it be worth mentioning this to the nursery or would I sound crazy? I know toddlers hurt themselves all the time and gets lots of bruises. From an outsiders point of view it probably sounds like I'm overthinking it but maybe I should trust my gut instinct.
Thoughts?
