Last week was one crazy week with Jack. On Wednesday night he catapulted himself out of his crib and fell 4 feet to the ground. Amazingly, the crib-fall did not even result in a bruise. Although it did produce quite a bit of anxiety for J. and I worrying about how to keep Jack safe at night. And then, on Thursday, Jack went to battle with a child's folding chair at daycare and got his thumb caught in the chair's hinge. He cut his left thumb badly and we had to rush him to the ER. He got 8 stitches in his thumb. To keep him from messing with the stitches he'll be wearing the large bandage shown in the photo above for a while. Once the ER staff tied Jack down and numbed his hand he took the stitches well. J. stayed with him while they sutured his thumb. J. entertained him with a cell phone and the doctor said that is was the only time a child laughed while getting stitches. Needless to say, Jack earned his new nickname "Master of Disaster" this week. We can only hope that the nickname becomes irrelevant soon.
