Our First Stitches




Well, It's O.F.F.I.C.I.A.L....he's a boy!!! We got our first (of many I am assured) set of stitches Friday night. Nice Huh??? He was jumping on the couch...first of all I said JUMPING.ON.THE.FLIPPIN.COUCH. and hit a piece of metal that I had put on the couch to keep him from using it as a weapon against his sister

~~aside here~~ he loves to hear his sisters scream any which way he can..he found a metal bar that goes in the closet and likes to chase them around to hear them yell...I can put it up..he'll find it...BRAT~~aside over~~

Anywho...he hit the metal bar and GASHED his toe..may I add...ONE bite into dinner...off to the ER...he was GREAT at the ER..hardly any crying..until they put lidocaine into the cut to numb it...then he wanted to fight us (and the 2 med techs) until he got up and he could see them stitching...

Steven says on the way home (he almost cried by the way--Steven that is NOT Connor)..."He's such a little man, a trooper, I was afraid his sisters were going to take his 'man gene's' away from him..I'm glad to see they didn't.." followed by a little snorting and coughing from me...

Next Post...our new addition to the family...... ;)

He is older than Joey was when he got his first "stitches". They used that liquid stitch on him because it was on (in) his eyebrow...kiss my boy!

YIKES!!!

Oh I just know I never would've made the real live visual of that...my eyes would've rolled right up into my head and I'd have hit the floor. I am SUCH a WUSS!

its funny to hear what steven said about connor's accident, that its proving him to be a man. my hubby would say the same thing. He calls all of his scars "battle wounds."

Mom of 3 boys here, ages 17, 14, and 11...honey, you ain't seen nothin' yet! ;) had our own trip to the ER just last Monday--knee hockey stick (mini-stick for indoor play...wooden of course) in the eye. Purely an accident but when they're this big, the accidents are bigger!!

I came for the party and could so relate to this post just had to comment here! Stop on by...I love visitors!

EUGH! I have a 12 and a 15 year old and so far we have had no stitches. We have had emergency room visits, just nothing that needed stitches.
