Somehow, we made it five years before we needed to see a doctor to get some stitches. That streak ended last week when Tommy, through no fault of his own, learned an important lesson about gravity. While at the after school program he attends, another child was randomly throwing rocks up in the air. Much like chicken little, Tommy had the unfortunate luck to be directly under this projectile falling back to earth. This lead to a trip to the local Pri-Med and six stitches later Tommy was as good as new! We were able to distract him during the sewing up process using videos on my iPod and he didn't shed the first tear. All the doctors and nurses were highly impressed by his composure. Honestly, I think I was more distraught about it than he was! Tommy was rewarded for his bravery with a visit to his favorite fine dining establishment, McDonald's. Now we have six stitches down, hopefully we won't be repeating this trip anytime soon!
He's all smiles even after being stitched up!
