All Glued Up

Nick had a great birthday yesterday and I have some fun pictures to share. But before I post those I wanted to share what he did the day BEFORE he turned two...

I was taking a shower and heard a big thud. I looked outside the shower to find Nick sitting on our bed, holding his head with blood going everywhere. I ran out of the shower to stop the bleeding and assess the damage. Nick was crying, showing me his bloody hands asking me to "wash please". After he was cleaned up he felt better but I was still worried. I called Peter, then the doctor trying to figure out what to do. I took these pictures for Peter so he could help me decide what to do from work.


After talking to Peter, the doctor's office called back and asked me to bring Nick in. The doctor looked at Nick during his lunch break and decided Nick needed to be glued up (instead of having stitches). After lots of pulling and pushing, cleaning, numbing, gluing and drying Nick was ready to go home. The glue will be on Nicks "big owie" for a week or two and will eventually wear off. Nick is doing really well and is good at reminding me, himself and everyone else to "no touch owie". I'm reminding him to not jump on the bed!

Here he is showing off his shiny glue.
