Stitches

It was 7:15 in the morning and Johnny went out with his Dad to feed the dog. Luckily it was a morning that Matt was home, because coming back inside, Johnny fell on our concrete steps and gashed open his chin! The ER is not our friend, so we made him just hang out until 8:00 when our local medical center opened. Sure enough, he needed 3 stitches. His sad face up there tells it all (and fortunately no one took a picture of MY sad face!), but we were proud of him for being brave. And the nurse loaded him up with stickers, suckers, and a card for a free ice cream cone, so that helped! Now we tell him to be proud of his "tough scar".
