First set of stitches

Amazingly, we've been doing this kid-thing for 9 1/2 years already and this is our first set of stitches! There was a glue episode (they super-glued a gash on his face) when Jonah was 4 and at least one other time we probably should have taken him in for stitches but this was the first time he (or any other kid) actually had to be sown up. Here's hoping it's not the beginning of a trend!

Oh! You'd probably like to know what happened! Well, they were playing on the giant, inflatable water slide, having a good ol' time. Jonah decided to jump from the top onto the slide. And, being inflated, he bounced. Right off. When he hit the ground, 3 of his front top teeth went into his knee. He's such a champ, though. Didn't even realize he was bleeding for a few minutes. And never shed a tear!

Wow...now how many kids can tell you that they literally bit their own knee open. Kinda gross actually! We have been doing the kid thing for 7.5 years, and have already had 2 sets of stitches, 3 broken bones, and a few other random hospitalizations. So...congrats on making it 9 years. :) Here's to the many more to come!
