9 Stitches

On Thursday night, Tyler was in the bath and playing with a porcelain mug. We've used it to wash his hair for the past year or so and he always plays with it. Well, this night he dropped it and it hit the side of the tub, shattering it in two. On the way down, a sharp edge hit his thigh and really gashed him. We rushed him to the doctor and he got 9 stitches. They have a gel now that numbs the area so they don't have to get a shot. But that didn't work. As they started to stitch him up, he was obviously in some serious pain. He ended up getting the shot anyway. Once that kicked in, he said, "Watch Nemo!" He was pretty brave. But what's so funny is that he cannot even look at it now. It always needs to be covered up and he won't let us see it. He starts to cry as soon as he sees it. We've discovered early that we don't have a doctor in the making. :)
