BIG BOO BOO :(

The first week of December, we got the dreaded call from the director of his school that he was hurt. This was not the normal, almost daily, call from the teacher (Cal got bitten, again, Cal fell and bumped his head, etc.), but the "he's really hurt this time" call from the actual director. It appears that he was doing some over-eager dancing in his classroom near the door and fell in just the right place so that he slashed his forehead open on the industrial door hinge. The director was pretty clear that it would definitely need stitches so mom made a beeline for school. By the time she got there, he was calm, no longer bleeding and had a bandage on. The cut was deep and wide and since our pediatrician's office does not do stitches, we went straight to the ER where we spent 2.5 hours getting 4 stitches above Cal's left eye. He was a trooper and did great during the process except when he had to be handled by the bad men in the green pajamas. It has healed nicely but didn't look good early on.
