What a day! These two pictures are the before and after shots! Before: I took the kids to the Arboretum (sp?) today. Thought it would be a pleasant, fun and new experience for them! They have paths of gardens, flowers, fountains, and a playhouse for the kids. We stopped to take a picture in front of the fountain. We then decided to go into the children's garden. We walked onto the wooden board (planks) walkway. I was pushing the stroller with my happy excited baby, as I looked at my two-year old gleefully running ahead of me towards the playhouse, I was just thinking how peaceful and wonderful this site was when......BOOM! Aidan took a spill. He gashed his head open on a piece of the wood. Poor baby was bleeding so bad! It was small but it was deep. I could see if gapping open! TERRIFYING I say! He cried for a bit (a real cry...not the usual whine!) and then by the time we got back to the car he was fine.
So we arrive at the ER and go to check in. At this moment I knew nothing about my child, I was so frazzled! He asked Aidan's date of birth....umm, well, uh, I, oh yeah! 2/19/05! The worst was his middle name...I was really stumped!! lol!! my own child!! I just kept thinking about a million other things!! Well 3 hours and two cranky babies later, he finally got 4 stiches!! I cried along with him! All you mothers out there think shots are tramatic?? This was a million times worse!! I never wanted more to trade places with him as I did then. But he was so brave!! Of course he cried during the stiches but did GREAT the rest of the day!! Whew what a day!!
