First ER visit

Calvin had his first trip to the ER last week. So sad. He was cruising around in our bedroom when he fell and hit his head on our metal bed frame. He screamed at first but he must not have been in that much pain because we were at the ER for 5 hours and the first hour he spent walking around the waiting room smiling at everyone. Apparently he was oblivious that he had a decent size gash in his head. Luckily the picture is a little blurry so you can't see how gross it really looked.
Then next 4 hours he just slept since it was pretty late. As much as I wanted to tell someone he is only 10 months old and should be a priority, it's hard to say that there is any hurry when he is happily playing or sleeping. So eventually the doctor had time for us and sedated Calvin for his 4 stitches.
Here he is the next day with the Camp Rock band aids we got for him. It was either that or Disney Princesses, the High School Musical ones cost more.

That makes me so sad. Is he keeping the bandaid on?

I am sorry you had to have an er visit. At least it was only a small gash. Isaac almost cut off his finger when he was 2. So we had 10 stiches right above his fist nuckle on his ring finger. The worst part was that it was 3 days before he turned 3.

Looks like he'll have a scar to match LaMar's. It's so scary to see your little one bleeding like that. I'm glad he's doing well!
