Well with four boys living under one roof it was bound to happen sooner or later. Last Wednesday Dustin got a call from Alex's preschool teacher that he had split his chin open on the jungle gym. Dustin went and got him...I was at the elementary playground...and he steri-stipped him up. We thought it would be o.k. - then that afternoon he went to a Birthday Party at Jumpin' Jacks. He must of cracked it open there, because he came home and the band aid was all bloody again. By the next morning it wasn't looking so great, so I took him into the doctor and they super glued him shut and sent us on our way. That afternoon Derrick bumped into him and it oozed a little more...later that night again Derrick crashed into him and sent it bleeding again...poor Alex! We took all the bandages off that the doctor had put on and it didn't look good. More steri-strips...more bandaids. The next morning he had a horrible rash from the bandaid that the doctor had used, we think he had an allerigic reaction to the sticky stuff on the bandaid...it looked painful. Now we are to the cortizone and neosporin stage...and it's finally getting better. What a trooper he is...not tears no complaining. We are so proud of our tuff little guy and thankful all this happened after family pictures! :) LoL!

I felt so bad at the end of the party when I could see the blood through the band-aid. Sorry! Hope he is doing ok. He seemed to have fun even with a hurt chin. He is a trooper that is for sure.
Alex is one tuff cookie--except when it comes to sunbeams! :)
Doesn't everybody have stitches there??
He looks mighty proud of that chin!
