2 boys down, 1 to go...

It's true what they say about little boys - they are busy, busy busy. After we had Caleb, my mother-in-law in particular would always say, "oh Deanna, you are going to be in the ER alot with this one!" I laughed because as busy as Caleb is he doesn't mind pain like the other little boys. So about 2 years ago, Joshua was our first son to head to the ER. He had a small one inch cut in his forehead and had to get 3 or 4 stitches. We were so surprised he went before Caleb, but so thankful to live so close to a hospital.

Today in Kearney it was beautiful and we spent the morning outside (mainly working on our curb appeal and mulch while the boys played. I got nervous multiple times watching all 3 boys climb, play swords, and run around with so much energy. Ashlyn had a sleep over with Grandma Sue last night so she missed out on the boy adventures this time. When we came in for lunch and were ordering a pizza, we heard a loud bang and then a really loud cry after.

Jonathan had hit the corner of our glass end table just right and had cut his head open. It was the same spot that Joshua cut his open and looked just like it - about one inch in length and pretty deep. We both knew that we would be heading to the ER a few minutes after it happened. 4 1/2 hours, 2 milks, 1 bag of crackers, and 1 cute teddy bear later, Jonathan is our second son to have gotten stitches (3 this time) at the Liberty ER. The other kids went to Grandma Sues to play while we waited what seemed like forever. Of course, we are still shocked Caleb has yet to beat either one and so thankful at the same time. Jonathan looked adorable in that big ER bed holding his little green blanket and bear waiting for the doctor. I will post pictures tomorrow when I get them off my phone. The stitches will come out in 4 days. So its true what they say, boys are busy and a little more interested in danger than girls (at least our odds show it that way).
