Our First Go At Stitches. . . or Staples!!


Joshie and Sam were rough housing with each other today on the couch while I was painting my bedroom ceiling! Josh got bumped off and hit the coffee table. It wasn't as melodramatic like it would have been with Sam who probably would have passed out from lack of oxygen because he cries so hard. Josh on the other hand acted like he just got a bump on the head. He did cry though when the doctor used lidocaine. Four staples later our poor guy was all smiles when he received a sucker and a coupon for free ice cream!
Did I mention that two hours before this happened I had to call poison control because I caught Maurie sucking on the end of the boys toothpaste! Luckily the tube was nearing empty anyway.
Did I also mention that ten minutes after I put Maurie to bed tonight she started wailing , so I went in to check on her and there was blood all over her mouth and all over her teddy bear. I thought to myself "what could have possibly gone wrong now?, do I get another trip to the doctor!!" Luckily (for me at least) she had just bit her lip and it was bleeding like crazy!
What a day!!

That does sound like a hard day. Blood is not something I do very well with.
