Our First

Trip to the

ER

with an

injured

child.

We have many

falls, trips, hits and rolls

in our home,

but for some reason

on this day

his head hit

just right wrong.

Luckily it stopped bleeding enough

for them to "glue" it shut.

And he thought it was pretty

cool to have stickers

on his head.

He did great.

Only crying at the very end,

mainly because

he was tired of

laying still.

We told him he got a dinosaur

painted on his head.

So brave,

he pointed and said

"Look at my dinosaur!"

I wanted to cry,

my baby hurt....

but how could I,

when he was smiling?!

Big Guy

has been

taking care of his baby

a lot lately.

He even named her "Cara".

(I like to think he named her after his mommy!)

So when the doctor

gave him his left-over

"stickers",

he said,

"Can I fix Cara's head too?"

So, he and daddy

went home and provided

minor emergency care to Cara.

I know it won't be our last visit,

we feel lucky that

this is our worst injury thus far,

but it is hard to see your child hurt.

So glad they

rebound faster than me!
