Oh, my Caden!!

Yesterday was just one of those days! Started off great with the gym, Starbucks and Caden's buddy over to play.

Then, it started to go downhill. A tantrum from Caden...Austin fell on his scooter and split his lip...and we all had a cry in the afternoon, feeling tired and overwhelmed.


We mustered up the energy to get to basketball practice, knowing we would see good friends there and have a good time. Little did I know that our evening was far from being over! At the end of practice, Caden started to walk on folding chairs (bad idea) and ended up falling and splitting his little head in the back. Thank goodness for friends there to help stop the bleeding (on my white sweatshirt!) and calming down Austin (yes, he freaks out when bad things happen).



I thought it was going to be okay without a stitch or two, but after Taco Bell and a bath, it still looked nasty. Dave got home from school early, and I rushed Caden to the same day service -- getting there at 7:50p.m. (and the closed at 8p.m.). I don't think they were happy to see us. But, in the end, the gash was worse than it looked and required 2 stitches. They are blue this time. We've talked about chairs are for sitting in, and nothing else, as this is the SECOND time for him in 6 months to get a stitch or two in his head - because of the misuse of chairs. Oh, my Caden!

He is feeling good and happy today...
