Ouch!

It all started with Ethan's new underwear, but don't most things around here? :) He just got some new ones with The Incredibles on them - Mr. Incredible and Dash. The kids started racing through the house pretending to be Dash. Somehow they fell and Olivia goes over Ethan and crashes her sweet head into the corner of the wall. Big gash. Lots of blood. Blood is Olivia's nightmare - she hates it. Scott and I immediately realize she will need stitches. On go the clothes (this was at 7:15 in the morning) and we are off to the ER. Olivia was very scared but very brave. Ethan was wonderful the entire time. He hardly made a peep. While she was getting her stitches in she did try to sit up a few times. The nurse was holding her shoulders so she didn't move too much, Daddy was holding her hands, I was shielding her eyes from the big bright light the doctor needed to see, and Ethan was watching the Disney channel. As soon as the last of the 6 stitches was in and bandage on she sat up and said, "I think it's all better now." Frankly, I think she would have said anything to get out of there. On the way home she called Papa, Nana, and Gigi to tell them her story. After we got home Nana stopped over with a balloon for both Olivia and Ethan. After lunch, we went to Family Dollar where Olivia got to choose one thing because I guess that's what we do around here if you get stitches. Of all the toys, candy, and stuff there Olivia chose some large, fluffy, pink kitty slippers. So absolutely adorable and so absolutely HER!

Oh, no! That's no fun. Glad she was so brave. Isn't it funny and amazing how they shock us in those situations? ....little boys and their under-roos, aren't they the root of so many issues? Stay well.
