Stitches

Moses came hopping in from outside with wet shoes this afternoon. Slipping and falling directly on his chin led to a visit to prompt care and three stitches. Thankfully, Aaron was here and took him. Aaron said he was screaming, "No, Daddy! Stop it!" over & over at the top of his lungs as Aaron tried to hold him down. If you look closely at his face, you can see where Moses broke little blood vessels with all the screaming. As they were pulling out of the parking lot, Moses told Aaron, "Doctors help me. They fixed my chin. Hooray!"

I convinced him to change his bloody clothes only after suggesting he put on a Toy Story shirt. Also, we had to change his band aid as soon as he got home from a boring band aid to- you guessed it- a Toy Story band aid. He is now resting peacefully and recovering while watching Toy Story 3.

Here are a few more pictures that I just received from our Christmas celebrations:

Sheer joy.

Moses loved playing in the box full of packing peanuts that held one of Amy's gifts.

Here are some pictures from Christmas. Moses received a load of Toy Story items and not one was a duplicate :-) We had many family gatherings to attend, which is always fun.

Moses was so excited to get Mr. Potato Head from Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa.
