Stitches?

Not this time, but it was close!

Apparently "J" & "J2" need to chill out while playing. Today, I was at my Sister's again this morning. I spent all of last week helping her out when she threw her back out, and as it was not completely better as of today, I headed over.

The "J's" were having lots of fun playing, laughing, running around. Then, they started pulling the blankets out and that is when the trouble happened. "J2" started twirling and before we could stop him he slammed his forehead into the toy chest. Oh the blood!

After applying pressure, ice and checking it out, we decided that he did not need stitches, but it was a pretty deep hole. I am becoming very fast at pulling out emergency kits and getting ice and towels ready. All the while the screaming wouldn't stop. "J" and Baby "A" sat quietly in their chairs knowing full well that something wasn't right. On one hand I feel badly that "J" has escaped the injuries and on the other hand I am thankful. We may need to stop giving them sugar when they are together.

yep, life with boys, never knowing when one will end up with a serious injury

a friend of mine, mom to 3 boys close in age, went through a period where she was at the ER with one or another every couple of days becuase of some mishap or other, the docs there were starting to question whether social services should be sent over!!!

Glad you didn't have to end up there and maybe the boys came to realize taht they aren't invincible, for awhile anyways.

Boys are rough and tough. I still have to grasp that. Nathan is so rough and is always bruised, cut and dirty. SIGH!
