We have officially begun the "stitch count" for Miles. His Uncle Kiley holds the family record with several bajillion over many injuries. Miles earned his first 3 today. We were walking around the driveway after lunch/pre nap and bam! down he goes. Unfortunately our drive has some gravel and a piece must have sliced his left index finger. He had a pretty good gash and bled all over (see his shirt, above). So we spent 3 hours of this beautiful afternoon down at the Children's ER. It was a very busy day there, we even saw a neighbor in the waiting room.We hoped the glue option might work, but on a busy toddler's finger there's no way that would hold. So we held him down and agonized through 3 painful stitches. They tried to numb it but it was still a traumatic experience for all. But Miles is such a trooper. We came home and ate all his favorites for dinner. He needed a little help, since his finger was still numb. After a viewing of "Baby MacDonald" he's off to sleep. Poor bear!!

Must be a family curse, and miles has been tapped to carry the torch. Of all the Bajillion, how many are "beauty marks" from mommy (sis)? Notice who was walking around the driveway with miles...
I am just kidding, about how many she caused. They are all her.
Oh No! Poor little guy. And how is Mommy doing?!
Poor kid! I'm sure this will be the first of many trips to the ER. When Lee was 6, he lit a bunch of firecrackers in an pot outside and then stood directly over it and watched it while he lit it. Just watch the firecrackers.
