Happy New Year stitches

This morning the kids got up & got in bed with us. Then Brandon made us waffles. We played for a while & then decided to go to a park near the mall. Our plan was to play for and while & then go buy Connor new pants. Just as I was suggesting that we head over to another park before shopping Connor ran over to the baby section to play with Hudson. He tripped & landed head first into the bottom step of the play structure. Poor little guy split his head open. It was bad. We knew right away & ran to our car. I rode in the back to control the bleeding and keep him calm & Brandon did his best ambulance driver impersonation. Connor ended up with 7 stitches directly above his eye. He was very brave. They wrapped him up in a sheet to keep him still while they did the stitches. He cried when they stuck the needle in, but then he was pretty calm. After each stitch he asked "Am I done now?". Then of course we took him out for junk food & ice cream. I was so proud of him. Kids are so much braver than adults.
