Well, the day has come. We've knocked on wood, so happy that as to this day we haven't sent our children to get stitches because of a major owie. Yesterday was the scariest moment of my life. I took my kids for a ride around the block with their little ride on cars, we do it all the time right after dinner, Jordon decided he had to go "super fast" all of a sudden, and as i was trying to catch up to him to slow down, he hit a bump on the pavement, and flew off his car. I don't like it when everything in front of you is in slow motion and you're trying to cry out "Nooooo! especially to your child. Thankfully when i got there, he was still conscious, his teeth were fine, but he had cut the bottom of his chin really bad, so bad that there was a gash. The only thing to stop the bleeding was for me to take off his shirt to use it as a rag. I knew right then that he was going to need to go get stitches. Thankfully a couple were walking their dogs and helped all of us to get back to our house. I called Mom and Megan and they came over to help me with everything. Megan stayed with David until Chris got home and Mom, Jordon, and I jumped in the car and went to the care now clinic. He was such a great trooper, I didn't even bring anything for a snack or drink(which he always complains for) and it took us a long time for us to get in to see the doctor. I guess nowadays they do a "glue stitch" which is more cosmetic on injuries and less traumatic. It took 3 of us to hold him down while the doctor did the gluing. He hated every second of it and was pretty grumpy. After we left we decided to get him a happy meal with chocolate milk and he was the happiest camper plus the happy meal came in a scooby doo bucket. He went to bed very well and was so glad to have his day over. He is doing much better, he'll have the glue there for about a week before we can peel/and wash it off. I think he is a little more cautious, at least today. We went for a stroller ride after dinner today and he didn't want to get out to walk. Thank goodness for people willing to help. Thank you so much to Mom and Megan, and to the family that helped us home. Parenting is such an adventure, just glad our boys are safe and taken care of. We love our little boys, even with all their crazy energy.
They were inseperable today!
