A first and second for Hudson

Last week Hudson was trying to out run his 17 yr old cousin, Kayleb as he chased him through the house. They came sprinting around the corner, through the office where I was sitting and into the playroom. With Kayleb hot on his heels he leaped in the air hoping a soft bean bag would break his fall but instead... he made direct contact with the back of his head and the rocks that surround the fireplace.

We headed out the door and returned 1 hour later with 4 stitches in the back of his head. This was a 1st for him but he was very brave and he didn't even cry once. But on the car ride home he said,"Mom, I don't want to go back to that squeezing doctor again."

Today our neighbors left on vacation and asked us to grab their mail and paper while they were out of town. They also told us feel free to use their pool while they were gone. So today on Dan's lunch break he ran the kids over for a quick dip in the pool. Not 15 mins later he came walking back in with Hudson who had blood running down from his eye. He explained that when Hudson was climbing up the ladder to get out of the pool he slipped and slammed his eye into the metal hand rail.

Another trip to the ER here we come. I made sure to go to a different ER this time, I mean... come on... twice in 1 week? I didn't want some ER nurse calling CPS or anything. :)

Luckily they were able to use the glue stitches on this one. As we drove home today Hudson said, "Thanks for taking me to the soft doctor and not the squeezing one, this one is my best."
