It's been a rough couple months for my littlest guy. First, the teeth into Jacob's head. Then, a couple weeks ago we were at a store and he was being his normal energetic self. He was bouncing in place when he slipped and went forehead first into the very sharp corner of a display shelf...which we found out afterwards was metal. OUCH!
I had the Jacob and Evelyn with me at time and we were a good 15 min from home. I frantically called a friend of mine (whose husband is a nurse). He told me to come on over and he's check out Marcus's head to see if I needed to take him to the Acute Care Center. I hightailed it over there and was given these options:1. Take him in to possibly get one or two tiny stitches (Evelyn promptly started crying at this)
2. Take him in and see if maybe they'd just glue his forehead (Evelyn was still crying)
3. Take him home and lather the owie up with neosporin and keep it covered with a bandaid so that it never sees the sun (leads to bad scarring)
I reaaaaaaaaaaaaallly didn't feel like spending long hours at the clinic while trying to console one crying child and chasing around two rambunctious boys. And I really didn't want Marcus to have to go through the pain of needles and stitches if a simple bandaid and ointment would work. So I went with option #3. This is why in almost all of the pix, Marcus has a bandaid on his forehead.
On another note, I have it on good authority that The Children's Place will give you and extra 15% off of your purchase if your child injures themselves in their store..... :P
