Boys will be Boys

On July 31st our little Brody La slipped in the shower and busted his chin open. Dustin was out getting some groceries at the store while I bathed and got the kids ready for bed. Brody was in the shower and I heard the kind of cry that, as a mother, I knew it was not going to be good when I went in there. So I ran in and did a quick check and he seemed to be fine, but he had his hands on his chin. So I asked him to take them down and the blood started to drip. One look and I knew that we needed stitches. I called Dustin and he couldn't believe it, he left the cart full of groceries and met me at Urgent Care. One red Popsicle, a syringe full of numbing medicine, six stitches and a band aide later our little boy was all fixed up.

I'm so dumb, I didn't get a picture while he had the stitches in, but I did get this picture just after I, yep I took his stitches out (I didn't want to pay a doctor for something that I could do myself). He was such a brave boy and only cried when he first fell and cut his chin.

Poor Brody! I'm very impressed with the removing of the stitches, Dr Johnson :)
