Well we have had our first set of stitches as parents. I honestly thought that I could sneak through this parenting thing without any. 5 kids+no stitches=slim chance. Last night during a game of freeze tag outside, for family night, Bergen ran into a bird feeder, while running away from Darren. I, of course stayed cool and calm and collected, ya right. I screamed and cried and I panicked all the other children who were up until this point not screaming and crying. It is quite a sight to see your child bleed from the head and although logically I know that head wounds bleed ALOT, reason doesn't always register when it is your child. After we all calmed down and the bleeding stopped, Darren and Bergen headed off to the Emergency room and I knew that I wouldn't be seeing them again for quite some time. 3 hours, 2 stitches and an orange gatorade later, he was as good as new. Now we have a couple of very cool blue stitches and a great story for a little boy to tell when he is asked what he has been up to lately.
