Ouch!

Can I just say that we, more so Steve right now, feel like the worse parents ever. Let me explain. To start our evening off, I tired to shut the door with my big toe in the way. So that put me out of commission to help with dinner. So Steve made dinner tonight. And because the kids were so impatient to eat, he forgot to put the bread knife away and to put up the baby gate. Can you see where this is going? Dinner was over, Jake wanted more bread, we said wait, he didn't, he then went into the kitchen and proceeded to try and cut some bread with the really sharp bread knife. Can you see what happened more clearly? That's right, Jake sliced his pinky finger on his right had. Good thing, not all the through, but enough that he could have gotten stitches. We opted for the durmabond. So, we feel like the worse parents ever. But, Jake was so good at the ER. He wouldn't let anyone clean his cut, but me. Then he let the Doctor put the durmabond on. He was sooooo good! A nurse gave him a popsicle and he just sat there talking to the Doctor and saying thank you!
Here's Jake talking to the doctor

Jake watched him pretty much the whole time. Jake truly was a good boy during this whole thing!

We just want to thank Rachel Martin for watching Zoe while we were at the ER. Thank you so so much!!

ER trips are awful! I'm so glad Jake took it so well. Don't feel bad, we all have those worst parent days!! I hope everything heals up well and everything else goes well.

The ER can be tough. Looks like Jake took it like a champ. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks for joining us at our picnic today. It's so much fun getting out and being social.
