Shots and Superglue

Today I had an appointment with the pediatrician for Caeden scheduled for the afternoon. It wound up being a good thing because in the morning Trey split his head open! Becks is still obsessed with cleaning supplies and made a big puddle of water with the swiffer wet jet on the wood floors in the living room. Trey didn't see it and went running through it, slipped and flew headfirst into the edge of the french doors. It was really just a little gash, about 3/4 inch long, but it sure did bleed a lot at first! The pediatrician used a glue called dermabond to glue the edges back together, it's purple and you can see it a little in the picture. Trey was super happy to not have any needles involved!


Caeden got his shots and after the first one, he shocked all of us and smiled at the nurse! But then he was back to a normal baby and screamed at the second, third and fourth shots. But now we are home and he is smiling again - we are so blessed to have such a happy baby!


P.S. We had our neighborhood garage sale this Saturday and Trey sold cookies on the sidewalk like last year. He made $12.75, used some of it to buy a lava lamp off our neighbor and some skittles at the store, and said he wants to send the rest to Uncle Spencer on his mission because he doesn't get much to eat in Alabama. Right now I'm having some sugar cookies and milk (my favorite recipe from the Good Housekeeping cookbook) and they are SOOOOOO good!

Nice cut Trevor! That's one to be proud of. Show that to the girls in your class and you'll get lots of love. Something doesn't sound right about Spencer not getting enough to eat in Alabama. Those people are some of the most overweight in the nation. Maybe he has some stingy members in his area.

You're right Cody, it is the stingy members, Spencer hardly ever gets dinner appointments and the mission president wants to have the lowest food budget in the area, so they are struggling to make ends meet. I sent him cookies and he said it was nice to have them because he can't afford things like treats.

Head wounds tend to bleed a lot. J'see bloodied one of my shirts years ago when she got hit by a nail on her head. The mission president sounds like he is worried too much about worldly things. The poor boys need their strength.

Caeden is sooooo dang cute. I am glad Trevor's head is okay.
