First Set Of Stiches

So we are officailly irresponsible parents! (some would say) Well our little man Sawyer has gotten the first set of stiches for our family. We had to take him to the ER last friday night b/c his lip and everything around him was full of blood. He needed 3 stiches on the outside and 3 on the inside to sew his lip back up. Well we didnt have time to call anyone to stay with the kids and Scott didnt want to stick him in the car seat so the whole family went to the ER. It was Friday night and supposed to be movie night so Justin grabbed a movie on the way out and we dropped them off and went and got a pizza and had movie night in the truck. Awful some would say but we have a 20 inch TV in the truck so the movie time wasnt to bad. What is bad is that we were in the truck until 1:00 AM. 6 hours. My kids are such troopers. Sawyer didnt cry at all. Not for the IV, Cat Scan, Stitches nothing. Yes I guess you get a cat scan now for busting your lip open. They wouldnt let him leave until he would talk. I guess they thought he had head trauma b/c he wouldnt speak. He is a very stubborn little guy. So Scott called me at midnight and said he couldnt get him to talk in front of the nurses and so we switched and I went in and a few minutes after Mommy was in there he softly said "mommy I want to go home" so we did finally. I hope he doesnt have to go thru that again. For that matter any of us! No more Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. Here are some pictures of the little guy. It is pretty gross, Sorry.

Nice food! Yuck

Poor little guy. The fact that you have made it this long testifies that you are good parents. We have visited the ER more than I care to recall, stitches, arms out of socket, seizures, RSV, Croup..did I miss anything?? Cute notes from Justin and Jaelyn.
