What a stressful day Tuesday was!!! I was getting ready to leave for work on Tuesday morning. My mom was holding Ethan while sitting on the edge of the bed. She was talking to me as I was finishing getting ready. Ethan suddenly decided he wanted down and just "dove" off of her. She caught him, but he banged his little eye/forehead on the sharp edge of the end table. He cried...we all did actually. He only fussed for a few minutes though and was all smiles on the way in to the doctor.
Thankfully the doctor called us right back. The cut was fairly deep, so it did require stitches. Because the cut was very clean and straight, the doctor was able to use liquid stitches and basically just glued it shut. Ethan didn't enjoy this process, but was a real trooper. They had to use a restraining device to hold him still for the stitching, and that didn't go over so well with him.
My poor mom feels terrible since she was the one holding him when it happened, but I keep on telling her it could have happened to anyone. He'll probably get more bumps and bruises as he learns to walk. Hopefully we'll make it through the toddler years and keep our sanity!
