HOME WITH THE HASWELLS: All Stitched Up!

This child has been one clumsy baby lately! He not only lives with a bruise on his forehead from bumping into everything, but he is now sporting stitches on his forehead from a fall on the playground at his Mother's Day Out. The director came to get me the other day (right before our class party as well as Greer's class party). She said he had fallen on the playground and may need stitches. I went to see him and he definitely had a hole in the middle of his forehead from where a rock more than likely made its mark. I rushed around to get him in the car and we headed to the wonderful Dr. Israel's office. Luckily, she was able to stitch him up in the office so we would not have to wait hours in the ER. My mom was also able to come to the rescue and help hold him down while they stitched him up. Dr. Israel suggested I step outside. It was probably a good idea! We have certainly been through much worse, but nothing hurts more than watching your baby scream helplessly! Of all days, of course this would happen on the day my mom was planning to come pass out cookies that we made for Greer's friends at his class party. Poor baby! I am just glad he is not old enough to know any different. I know from teaching kindergarten, that young children never want to miss their class parties! Here are a few pics from last week! Oh...and Greer is now saying "shoes", "Ji Ji", and "deer". Hmmmm! Any guesses as to whose house he has been to lately?

This is the night before his party(& stitches)...when we also went to visit Santa!

Timing worked out perfect for pictures. Kind of glad the stitches decided to wait a day!

He wasn't as happy this year as last year. Probably because this Santa did not seem very happy and did not smile very much! How can you be Santa and not be happy!!!! At least Greer was not terrified!
