Last night as a two year old…..

Well, Gavin decided he needed to have some excitement for the last night of him being a two year old.  As we were just about to finish bath time and head to bed, he slipped in the tub and cut open his chin.  Thankfully, it was not a big cut, but I knew he needed a few stitches.  So, I loaded him and Kayla in the car, dropped Kayla off at my parents and headed down to the ER.  (For the second time in less than 6 weeks!!)

Gavin hanging out in the waiting room with his numbing jelly on.  He was so active and busy!  You could tell he was up way past his bedtime.  (Which results in him getting hyper) After his stitches, Miss Keri got him a popsicle.  He was very happy about that.  I would like to say that Gavin was a trooper and super brave, but well, he pitched a major fit.   He did NOT like being held down.  He screamed ( high-pitched, glass-shattering ) the whole time.  Thankfully the plastic surgeon was super quick.  As soon as we let go of him, he immediately quieted down.

He got about four or five stitches an they put a steri strip over it so that he wouldn’t be able to pull the sutures out. I thought we deserved some Steak and Shake on the way home.  I did this with Mikayla when she broke her arm.  I think it is a nice tradition.  Hopefully, we don’t have to make it a frequent tradition, though…. I don’t think my waist line could handle it!
