It was only a matter of time...

We had our first kid-related ER trip yesterday. B & G were playing while T & I cleaned up in the kitchen after dinner. Then we hear the blood curdling screams from B. T got there first and says, "Oh, no." I take a quick look and run for towels to sop up the blood. We do a quick assessment and get into the car. Apparently, the bed frame jumped up and took a chunk out of B's forehead. That or he tripped and fell into it. Either way, deep gash = stitches.

I've attached photos. Warning - there is blood. Worst one is toward the end and I will warn you again...







Seriously, the kid was so calm.
We all decided to joke around while he got it cleaned.
Yes, he's laughing during the cleaning.


All sewn up and still smiling.

WARNING - GROSS PHOTO COMING. STOP NOW IF YOU DON'T LIKE BLOOD (OR DEEP GASHES TO THE FOREHEAD).

Oh, poor baby! That is a hard split second, where you have to decide you are going to be okay for your child, when your instinct is to freak out or cry. At least for me. :) Good job, mom!
