Lipstick Already?

Yesterday, I picked up Owen from daycare and the lady  in charge told me that Owen scratched his cheek with his fingernails.  While this was a bigger scratch than I have seen on him, I wasn't surprised because this wasn't the first time he had scratched himself (or somebody else). 

He loves to use his hands right now, and while his fingernails are trimmed....they can still be fairly sharp.  He grabs something he sees (many times...someone's face) and just clenches it as tightly as he can.  I have been on the receiving end of this many times...and even had a scratch on my nose from it. 

Here is the  best picture that I could find that shows what I mean:

The funny part of the story was after I brought Owen home with the scratch on his cheek....I forgot to tell Em about the injury.  About a half an hour later, she came downstairs to where I was working and asked me, "What happened to Owen's cheek?"  I told her that he scratched himself at daycare.  She started laughing and told me that she spent the last few minutes trying to wipe it off because she thought that a girl at daycare kissed him and left lipstick on his cheek.

I HOPE it's still a little early to worry about girls chasing The Dude.
