Jacob vs The Chair

Sunday night was another round of Jacob vs the furniture at the Stevens household. This time, the opponent was a dining room chair. The chair came out victorious, and Jacob came out with 5 stitches. (Picture taken day after, on Monday)
Jacob was standing by me, and all of a sudden went to grab something on the floor. He just didn't realize how close the chair was and caught the corner with his head on the way down. Don't be fooled by the somewhat small appearance of this one...it was Deep! In fact when he first hit the chair I knew it was going to be bad, he hit it so hard and when he moved his hand he had a big hole right between his eyes. Luckily we got him to the bathroom before the blood came- it was everywhere. Fortunately we have a doctor in the house who's pretty good with stitches! :) Normally his stitches are done on the actual eye, so this case was easy.
Jeff would have stitched him up right here at home, but he didn't have a needle or anesthetic. So Jeff and Jacob took a drive down to Jeff's office where he did the stitches. Jacob was pretty brave. He didn't cry and told Jeff that he was doing a pretty good job :) He also told Jeff that he still wanted to be an eye doctor so they could work together. Pretty cute. When they got home (9pm) Jacob told me that he had had a fun outing with Daddy. I'm glad he was such a good sport. Hopefully we'll be done with stitches for a little while at least! But we'll keep supplies on hand just in case.
