Dallin got Stiches!

Over the weekend we went to my sister in law Stephanie's family home in St. George. It was fun, though the drive seemed long as it was snowing in Cedar City. We got there and went swimming the next day. Dallin had a blast, up until he had to get stiches.

After swimming in the indoor pool we had to make a run to the car. It was freezing outside and so his Uncle Caleb, grabbed him and ran for the car really fast to get him in the car safe and sound. He opened the door a little too quickly and didn't notice that it was swinging back on them, before it was too late. Then BAM!! Dallin got a good, firm bonk on the door and that was all it took for his little face to split open. Right above his left eye was a half inch gash. We took him to the urgent care and the little guy got two stitches. What a tramatic day for him it was. He did so good though! As he was getting his stitches, he just squinted his eyes real tight and closed his eyes. He was so brave and I was so proud of him. Afterward he got some BuzzLight Year stickers and that perked him right up. He was so great and did so well the rest of the trip considering he was in pain and was constantly saying he had an "owie" and that it hurt. He didn't cry much and he still slept really well. What a trooper.

Needless to say, Uncle Caleb felt awful, but Dallin didn't blame him. He kept saying, the car hurt me, Car owie!!! He didn't associate Caleb with his stitches which was good. Caleb I think almost cried he felt so bad, but all is well, and Dallin is doing great. I wanted to get a picture of the stitches, but Dallin refuses to let me take that band-aid off. Maybe the next time I change the bandages I will get a quick shot.

Dallin and his Uncle Caleb sleeping on the way home from St. George. You can see that bandaid above his left eye. So sad to see, but he loves his little "Woody and Bulls-eye" band-aid. He also loves his Uncle Caleb still:)
