We had quite the interesting morning yesterday! It started a little earlier than most of our mornings have been lately with Dude making a mad dash for the bathing, but tripping instead and hitting his head on our bed frame. Which equalled a lot of blood and a big ole chunk taken out of his forehead! :( He was such a trooper though and didn't cry but instead insisted that he really had to pee. So we got him into the bathroom and peeing while trying to apply pressure and clean off his head as best we could.

This prompted Gaetan to get ready really quickly and take him to urgent care. They rolled out of here a little before 8 AM. Our biggest concern was that he wasn't going to be back in time to teach class (he's subbing for his advisor this week, and class was at 10) but I didn't know what else to do. We only have one car so even if I took Dude to urgent care Gaetan still wouldn't have a way of getting to class.

So, we decided that Gaetan would take him and if it was cutting it close, then Dude would just have to go to class with Gaetan. The more and more I thought about this I wasn't sure it was a good idea. I know that Dude is really good and would've probably just watched a movie, but I didn't want to take the chance of it going sour... so I phoned a few friends to see if they could meet them on campus and drive our van back with Dude in it. It worked! One of our friends Cory said that he could and it was all good. The hardest part of trying to figure this out was that there isn't any reception in urgent care so I was kinda just making plans up on my end hoping that Gaetan thought that it was a good idea.

They did make it to campus on time (barely!) and when Cory got to our place with the kids we went and got smoothies... Dude had requested it after he got his head glued. Seriously, it's a divet just like the one higher up on his fore head. His poor head is having quite the summer! And, to top it off, the nurse at urgent care asked Gaetan if Dude had a safe home to go back too... really? I know that it's protocol and I'm glad that they are taking interest in kids injuries, but it's just kinda awkward... ya know? He's almost 3 and extremely active, so he's gonna hurt injured. Oh well, at least they let us take him home!

| His head looks good this morning! |
Later that day poor guy ended up hitting his chin on something and biting his lip... so now he has a fat lip to go along with this glued head! We are just happy that he's so good natured about it, and that nothing is seriously wrong. :) Just another day in the life of a Momma with active children haha
