First stitches...

I guess, when you have kids, you never know when the emergency room could be just around the corner.  All ready for bed, this tiny lady decided to hold herself up on the bathroom counter top (w/ stiff arms to hold her up & feet dangling), then push off.  Well, the push off wasn't big enough.  Unfortunately it caused a pretty deep gash.  It didn't bleed at first...looked like a big chunk of flesh.  Once I pinched it together it started bleeding.
 Just like the 4 year well check shots, this lady didn't cry!  She got a little teary eyed when the doctor said she'd need a few stitches, but nothing ever fell out...so that's not crying!  She's so proud of herself.  Even after that big needle of Lidocaine.  Amazing!  Such a big girl.  I wanted to cry, but I held it together somehow. 
My poor Tiny!  3 stitches & we get those out in 5 days.  What a way to start the summer!
