We got indoctrinated into parenthood on Saturday night. Cason received his first set of stitches by literally walking into a door jam. Every now and then Cason likes to spin, spin, spin and then fall down. We keep him clear of all objects when he is doing this. Well on Saturday he was in the kitchen with Steve and after doing this a few times, decided he was done and went to leave the kitchen. Unfortunately he was still dizzy and walked into the door jam. Loud cries, blood, and tears!
After bandaging it up, research on the internet, and it still trickling blood some 2 hours later we decided a trip to urgent care was in order. Unfortunately the doctor took one look and said "yep, stitches" I think Steve and I about passed out knowing this was going to be an awful experience. Well lots of tears from Cason some almost from Momma as he was saying "Momma All Done." over and over again with a pleading look, 5 stitches later we all survived.
Now we get to take them out on Thursday. Not looking forward to it.
Here are a few pics to document the ordeal!

Doesn't look too bad -- I know it was an ordeal just holding him still for the stitches-- I feel your pain-- not easy watching our little ones get injured and then fixed! Enjoy this weekend wilth your Mom! Love, Aunt Nancy
