Ouchie

We had our first (of many, I am sure) major boo boo last night that caused a quick trip to convenient care...

Ever since we had our banquette built, it has been a favorite "looking out the window" spot for Ethan. So, as I was getting things ready for dinner, he decided to climb up there and have a look at what was happening outside. The next thing I knew he was on the ground, blood pouring from his chin. Since Matt wasn't home and I didn't know what to do, I, of course, called my mom. She reassured me that as long as the bleeding had stopped, which it had, that this was not an "emergency" and that he would be fine. But, it would probably be a good idea to take him to have it checked out just to make sure he didn't need any stitches. We didn't want to ruin the big guy's precious face with a scar. So, we headed to pick Matt up at the train and then onto the hospital.

Thank goodness the little "scrape" did not require any stitches or glue. Just a few syringes of saline to get it cleaned out good and lots of elephant tears and we were on our way!!
