Current mood: cheerful
and I opened it to find my little boy bleeding profusely through the back of his head. Quite tramatic if it hasn't happened to any of you yet.
The kids were playing in the cul-de-sac and skipping lava rocks. How does one skip a lava rock? Apparently one jumped up and bit a piece of flesh off of Jack's little melon. Blood was down his back by the time he got to the door.
Anna Stahl was passing through the neighborhood on her bike and brought Jack to the door. I was a little panicky, but she reassured me that "heads bleed a lot." By the time we stopped the bleeding, and iced the bump, took a bath to clean up the blood, we noticed it was just a little nick in the swirl of his fine brown hair.
He is perfectly fine this morning. I have lived through another "moment" of Jack's childhood... This stuff never happened to William!!!! So the bloody broke open skull count for Jack is now at four. Only one required stitches, and the doctor did such a crappy job that next time I will give my child stitches or glue them back together again.
Happy summer.
