I have four kids and it ends up that our first visit to get stitches is my baby Kassidy!
Her and I were riding around the block on scooters having a great time. Kassidy kept telling me to go faster. I kept telling her to be careful. On our third trip around she wiped out. She hit the sidewalk and kind of slid a little forward. My heart sunk because I knew there was going to be damage I just didn't know what kind. I wasn't expecting this. I thought maybe a broken tooth (I hope not), or bit lip or tongue. After comforting her I looked at her mouth and when I didn't see any blood there I looked lower. There was a deep red line on her chin and then I saw the gash! I picked her up, left the scooters of course and ran for my house.
Her neck was covered in blood and so was I by the time I got to the house. My sweet neighbor Amber drove us to the Dr where Kassidy ended up with 5 stitches. She was so brave. She hardly cried and she laid so still while the Dr stitched her. She got an Oreo sundae for being so brave and the Dr praised her for being so good and gave her 3 prizes. The Dr said the last 3 year old she stitched up kicked and screamed the entire time. Kassidy said ouch and whimpered a little when they stuck the shot in to numb the area. That is it! Today she has had Motrin twice for pain. If you ask her if her chin is better she will say, "not yet." I have had to remind her a couple times not to pick at the stitches. What a trooper. She is fascinated with the pictures because it is the only way she can see what it looks like.
