Well, we had a very eventful Saturday evening. Around 4:50 in the afternoon, We where getting ready to take the kids over to their Grandparents to be watched while Nathaniel and I went out to eat. Jarom got so excited, after putting on his shoes, he jumped up very excitedly and I don't know if he tripped over his own feet or if he tripped on the rug, but went spiraling into our built in bookshelf/desk. He hit it just right at the area where the wall and the desk connect that if split his ear open. You could see the cartilage. After putting direct pressure on the wound, we took him to the Instacare, where they said he needed stitches. We then took him up to Primary Children's E.R., not wanting this to be any more tragic then it is, and sat in the waiting room for what seemed endless. Jarom was so good and now has four stitches on the top of his ear. He will not wear a band aid, so he has a bandage around his head and we call him our little pirate. He will get the stitches out on Thursday, but he keeps telling us he doesn't want to go to the doctors again. Jarom is doing just fine though.

poor thing... what a brave little man.
He's a cute little pirate!
It's always the simple falls that you end up in the ER. Sounds like he was really brave!
That's too bad. After having gone through many stitches with my boys, the last two times I just didn't want to go through the trauma of having them get the stitches out so I just waited until they were asleep, got my tiny sissors and tweezers and did it myself. They slept through the whole thing. Not that I'm suggesting you do it, though. I'd just seen it done so many times and knew there isn't much to it.
