Charlotte got some stitches

So there are a few bloody pics in this post but they're not too bad. Just fair warning.

Sunday night after my Dad's birthday party, we headed home and got the girls ready for bed...and after we said our family prayer Charlotte went into the hall, and of course, Sadie went after her to give her a hug. It was a big too enthusiastic, and Charlotte got knocked into the corner of the wall, specifically on the molding on the bottom, and split her forehead open. Poor thing! It started bleeding a lot of course, since it was a head wound, so I got a towel and started putting pressure on it. Rory was trying to calm down Sadie who was freaking out, while I tried to calm Charlotte down who of course was bawling as well. Crisis!

Anyways, finally got the bleeding to stop and called my mom to come stay with Sadie so we could go to the ER. (well, the Minor Injury clinic but same difference) Luckily the wait there wasn't bad, and by then Charlotte was her cheerful self again. Kids are so resilient!

They said yep she needs stitches, so we rolled her up in a sheet, held her down, and they started numbing her forehead...then I had to switch places with Rory...I just could not watch! Ugh, stitching skin gives me the heebie jeebies. Thank goodness they were quick. We were in, out, and back home in about an hour and a half. Charlotte has been doing great since then and loves her Hello Kitty and Princess band aids she's been sporting!

What a trooper!
