Accident Prone

Yesterday wasn't a good day for the Barnett kids. It started in the morning with Merry Grace hitting her cheek on Elise nightstand. She was sitting on Elise's bed with me while I was helping Elise get ready for school. She slipped and caught the corner of it and it left a pretty good bruise. Poor kid.

Then Ian was trying to jump up and get the helium balloon string when he fell and cut his forehead (right above his eyebrow) on a stool. It bled a lot. From the time he fell to the time he could walk the few feet over to me, the blood had run down his face, dripped down his arm and tummy, and was making droplets on the floor as he walked. It was a mess. I debated on whether to take him to get stitches, but in the end decided he would be ok. The trauma of "unnecessary" stitches might be worse than the wound itself. Its a pretty good cut, but he's going to be ok. =)

What a day!
