OUCH!


Today right after Lincoln had a wonderful day at preschool with celebrating his birthday, he was running around with Hunter, tripped and gashed his forehead right on the metal corner of a bench. I immediately knew it was pretty bad (I am not very good around blood). I carried him in the bathroom and held a paper towel on his head. It wouldn't stop bleeding! We finally took him to the E.R. and he got stitches. He was pretty good. The bandaid job was a mixture of his teachers and himself. He tried to climb the brick wall to the E.R. as we were walking in.

Luckily there were toys in the waiting room for him to play with so he could keep his mind off it.

This isn't a great picture, but you can see the 4 stitches that Lincoln had to get.

What a little trooper. Right after the stitches were in he was running around, climbing everything he could find and jumping off!

Stitches are a boys right of passage.

Glad he didn't let it slow him down: "He tried to climb the brick wall to the E.R. as we were walking in." What a stud!
