Stitches!!

Jayda and Cole were playing a game with a balloon yesterday before school....hitting it back and forth, trying to make sure it didn't hit the ground. Well, instead of the balloon hitting the ground, Jayda's face did. After much screaming and blood, we found the cut on her chin. Thank goodness Grandpa had arrived for a visit. He got the older kids off to the bus and then watched the two younger kids while I took Jayda to get stitches! These are our first stitches...not bad after 9 years of kiddos. Jayda was a champ! She was SOOO brave, doing much better than her Mom! I had to look away several times, getting sick to my stomach and light headed. I don't handle this kind of stuff very well. A couple hours later (why is the wait always SO long?!) she came away with 4 blue stitches. Our sweet friends brought flowers, cookies and a homemade card for Jayda after we got home. Their daughter, G, had just gone through this experience a couple months ago...her owie was between her eyes. She and Jayda are "stitch buddies" now.
