Our first trip to the ER
And it was Isaac, the tame one! Daddy and I were so surprised.
It was a classic story of Boy jumps on couch, Boy bounces off couch, Boy lands ear-first on the corner of the coffee table. His earlobe split open, notch-like, and he additionally incurred a nasty gash behind his ear.
Our ER experience was pleasant and quick -- they glued him up instead of stitching, and we were in and out in 30 minutes. And every member of our family got an orange popsicle.
Here is a picture two days after the fact. Everything is healing so well, and he has never once complained. The purple line on his ear is his glued-up notch.
Jacob insists that you need to see a picture of him, also, though he is unscathed. He is doing a "silly dance".

Oooouch! our poor babe.mamaw
The future nurse in me wanted to see more carnage. But actually, I'm so happy to see and hear that it wasn't too bad for the little guy.
p.s. didn't really want to see carnage...that was probably a bad joke. forgive me.
No no, Kendra -- I thought for a good long second about taking my camera along to the ER. In the end I decided against it, thinking I might need to pay more attention to Isaac than to taking blogworthy pictures.
Aah Claire- always go with your first instinct...take the camera next time :-)
