Will's in stitches.

Sweet little Will.

When he sees a camera, he always says "Cheese!"

It was a typical night. Dinner then our living room mayhem started. Wrestling matches at first turned into dance party U.S.A.

I went upstairs to start some laundry. That's when I heard it. What sounded like a loud thud followed by instant crying. Now, if you live in our house, you know not to panic when hearing such chaos. It wasn't until Josie (followed by Ben) came running upstairs and said Dad said you need to come quick that I realized the severity. Billy was covered in blood. Will had tears running down his cheeks, but he wasn't hysterical anymore. Normally I can't get the kids to keep the "boo-boo bear" ice packs on their war wounds. But this time Will was holding it on his forehead. There was a large gash smack in middle of his forehead.

Will was doing one of his best moves when the accident happened. I like to call his famous move the helicopter. He spins in circles, turns his head slightly over his shoulder and looks up to the sky. He lost his balance and smacked his head on the wood frame of the couch at the base. OUCH.

After a two second conference, we decided that he needed to go to the ER. We also decided that this looked like a job for Dad. I'm weak when it comes to stitches and I don't mind admitting it. I couldn't sit still just looking at Will's little forehead.

He ended up getting 2 stitches (all that blood for 2 stitches!). They normally prefer to do glue when it is on the forehead and when they are so young, but because it was wider than what they prefer they said stitches was the way to go. Poor guy had to have a needle in his forehead to numb him. Then they wrapped him up like a mummy so he couldn't move. While he may not have been happy at the hospital, he was pretty pumped when he got home. The nurses thought he was pretty cute and gave him loads of stickers. If you have an 18month old or two, you know stickers are like gold!

We need to make an appointment for Friday to have them removed. Wish me luck!
