Starting with the most significant event......
Xavier busted the back of his head open and had to get 4 staples put in it. WOW. I know. My baby got hurt :(
X was getting dressed for preschool and he and Wes were messing around. I was comforting Wes after his hand got slammed in the bedroom door. X started getting on Wes and I pulled him away from Wes. X then tripped and fell backward hitting his head on the bed frame. His head just split right open. He only cried a little and it didn't bleed that much. I took him to Urgent Care and they put 4 staples in it. He did AWESOME at urgent care. They didn't even numb it. He was as cool as a cucumber and totally cooperative. He did say "ouch, that hurts my head" by the 3rd staple, but then they were done. He watched Bob the Builder and ate a popsicle.
Xavier had the staples in for 6 days. He did really well with it, we just had to remind him to slow down a lot and he wasn't too thrilled when we said he couldn't jump on the neighbor's trampoline. It helped that the "injury" was in the back of his head. He couldn't see it and just forgot about it. We gave him Motrin for the first 36 hours and he wouldn't lay on the back of his head for the first couple of nights. After that it he was fine as long as you didn't try to touch the staples. He kept telling us "Don't touch my staples. They need to dry" He has a small scar but his hair covers it up.
In the waiting room at Urgent Care. He was so patient, just holding his security items.
The phone pic of X's head that I sent to Walter at work.
All fixed up.
Bob the Builder makes anything better.
When we were ready to go home X said to me "Are we going to preschool now?" That's what he was most upset about -- having to miss preschool that day. Sweet boy.
The next week Xavier did this to Wes' head with stickers. He told me "Wes has staples in his head".
I know with 3 boys I'm bound to end up in Urgent Care again, but I just hope it's not for a really long time.

Can I borrow puppy and green bowl if I ever have to go to urgent care? It seems to really help. He's such a sweetie and did so well, hope he (or you) never has to go through that again, but you're right, with 3 boys who really knows what's ahead?!
