Near Miss




So far, we've survived 8 years of parenting without a single trip to the Emergency Room. However, we almost broke that streak today. I really thought that Ashley would cause our first urgent care visit with all of her flipping, climbing, and overall crazy antics. While she was in fact the *cause* the trip, Nathan was the injured party.

We went to pick him up from a sleepover this morning. While we were visiting with the other parents, Ashley joined the boys who were playing outside with light sabers. Three boys spent the night together without incident. Little sister shows up for 5 minutes and inflicts a bloody gash in her brother's forehead!

Fortunately, our pediatrician's office is open for a few hours on Saturday mornings. We made it in just before they closed and didn't even have to wait. Our doctor was able to close the wound with surgical glue. No stitches! It was really the best outcome possible considering how our morning started.
