Well, we had a very first encounter with stitches! In typical fashion the kids were bouncing around my mom's family room and Syd took a header off the couch into the corner of the coffee table. There was immediate blood and some panic. Thankfully we were minutes away from an ER so Chad and I scooped her up and headed over there. The poor girl was a mess. The dr informed us that she would in fact need stitches but we were going to have to numb it up first. We sat for what felt like an enternity (45 min or so) holding this numbing agent on her head. In the meantime, she fell asleep on Chad. So when she was good and numb (or so we thought) we layed her down on her stomach and they were going to stitch her up. Not so easy.....really, when you think about it, how would you like to awaken to stitches being inserted into your head while two nurses, your mom and your dad are all pinning you down and you cannot move....yep, did NOT go well. I have never - IN MY LIFE - heard this girl scream like this. It was unbelievable. In fact she was screaming so loud and so hard that she broke blood vessels all over her chest. My poor thing. So...there we have it. Our first (and I WISH our last) stitches. Three on the top of her head....two days before leaving for Disney. Pefect timing of course.
