Scar

Corin is all boy. He runs, jumps, tumbles and... damages himself. He's got a few scars, like the one on his forehead from bashing it into the table.

This one will put the others to shame.

It was the first day of school. It's about 1:00. I'm done exercising. I grabbed a quick bite to eat. He's in full-on "I need to nap but I won't so I'm going to go crazy instead" mode. He's jumping on the couch. This is normal. He's jumping from the half-wall to the couch. Again, it's normal. He's jumping from the narrow back of the couch to the couch. This is unnerving. He's getting closer to the table. I ask him to get down before he bashes his head.

He decides to dismount and try to get extra style points.

SMACK!
Crying.
Blood.

I end up sitting on the stairs with him on my chest calling Chrys to come get us and take us to the ER. We went down to Dell Children's and OMGTheyRockMyWorld as far as ED's go. We were in and out in a couple of hours. He had about a 1-1.5" gash in his head. It took 6 staples to close up.

We got the staples out yesterday. It seems like the left side was very nicely closed. There's barely a line where the skin meets. The right is very scabbed over and may not fare as well. I guess we'll see.

Boys. Oy.
