Ethan's latest disaster

On Sunday night we were just relaxing at home, and enjoying a quiet evening at home. Well, Ethan was playing around in the living room, and tripped. He ended up hitting his head on the corner of a wall, and sliced it right open. We knew right away we needed to go to the hospital to get stitches. Ethan only cried for a couple minutes, then was laughing and talking to me all the way to the hospital, and in the waiting room. When we got there it was 9pm and Ethan was just being a silly boy. We got called back to the room, and Rory had to hold a cotton ball with numbing medicine on Ethans wound for like an hour, and Ethan really didn't like that. It just bugged him that he couldn't run around and explore the room. When the dr. came in and was ready to stitch it, it was almost unbearable to me as a mom. We had to wrap him up really tight in a blanket to hold his arms down, and dad held his legs, and the nurse held his head. His eyes were just wide with terror not understanding what was going on, and he just kept yelling 'momma!' 'dadda!' He was just wanting one of us to pick him up and comfort him. It was horrible! No matter what I said, I couldn't console him, and it broke my heart. I'm sure all the other moms understand my reaction. anyways, he ended up getting 5 stitches, and is healing nicely
