Well on Friday Bailey and I were playing around, Laughing, smiling, having a great time. She bounced around on the chair and climbed up onto the end table and readied herself to pounce on me. When she did she slipped out of my arms, this probably had something to do with the 'silky' princess nightgown that she had on. When she fell her chin connected with the edge of the end table. She cried, I went to pick her up and then saw the gap in her chin where previously a gap hadn't been. It didn't bleed very much but it had definitely split through the epidermis and was going to need stitches.
So with a rag under her chin, we went off to our favorite Dr. Nielson's office. Bailey not being a stranger to medical procedures and especially the dreaded IV knew something was up and begged me over and over to " please not let them use the sharp thing". After 4 people held her down and she was sufficiently numb the doctor closed her up with 3 little stitches or as we call them Magic band aids ( cause that sounds less scary according to her )
So my little one now has stitches, I am sure that this is just the most recent in a whole bunch of things that are still going to happen.
oh the joys of motherhood.

we've had chin stitches before too! They're not much fun, but she sounds so brave. :)
Oh owie! We have a room at the ER dedicated to us. :) Kidding of course but it sure feels like it when you visit often enough.
The word epidermis makes me think of the joke that goes, "Your epidermis is showing." And you freak out because you don't know what it is and that it's really terrible.
Poor girl. Good luck this summer. Hopefully too many more bad things won't happen.
Those chins can be doosies. Alex has had stiches there three times (and an additional time on the back of his head). Nice.
Darn it. She sure has had her share of owies in the last little while. I hope there won't be any more for a long, long, LONG while. For her sake and for yours.
We need to do lunch again. :)
