Tegan's First Set of Stitches

Life is never dull with Tegan around.  During Thanksgiving Break he kept getting hit in the head by various things (a bowling ball, a car seat, and a wooden board.)  We kept joking that too many hits to the head would not be good for him...little did we know that we were right!  
The boys were playing downstairs at Grandma's house and Tegan tripped over something and hit his head on the metal frame of a daybed.  I was in wrapping presents and just heard screaming from both Tegan and Andy.  As soon as I saw his head I knew we were headed in for stitches!!
 Luckily Grandpa was home so we loaded up and headed into his clinic.  Tegan was being a little stinker and did not want to hold still for anything!  
 A close up of the cut once it stopped bleeding so much.
 We finally got him settled down by letting him play the phone, lay by dad, and eat a sucker.  It took 3 people to hold him down for shots and stitches but 5 stitches later he was as good as new!
 The stitches...he also got a big bump on his head, a black eye, and a big bruise on his cheek.  I thought we were going to have a rough day but he acted like it was not big deal.  He kept touching his head and saying, "I bump my head..."  or "I bump my head at Grandma's house."  
Hopefully this is not the first of many trips to the doctor for this kid but somehow I don't think we will be so lucky!
