Scott & I have long wondered when Jack's first trip to the ER would be. When he started walking, we nicknamed him "danger" and have waited and wondered what he would be doing when he sustained his first serious injury. Would it be from jumping off his play set? falling off his bike, running in the house, jumping on his bed... etc. Well today, the question was answered.
He was walking down the hall at preschool... Not the makings of a good story, but the truth.
Anyway, that part was boring (trip and fall). The aftermath was somewhat comical. I realized I had no idea where one takes a small child for stitches when it does not appear to be an "emergency" (no gushing blood... etc.). What I learned is that not all pediatricians "stitch", and, if you take a screaming 2 year old to urgent care, you do not wait in line. You do not wait period. I had not even filled Jack's name in on the form before the Dr. was in the room & had patched Jack up.

I also learned that stickers (tattoo's) and ice cream fix everything...
