Another day, another doctor...

This morning started like any other. The boys got up, ate breakfast and it was time to go out and wait for the bus. Ryan is still having some issues adjusting to his brother being gone and was a real pill all morning. He asked to color, we colored then quickly changed his mind. We played cars, then quickly changed his mind. He asked to paint so I got everything out for him and apparently in the 10 seconds that took, he changed his mind and decided to throw the mother of all tantrums. He slammed his head back and normally when he does this, he just hits the carpet and he goes about his business. Well, today he was a bit too close to the sliding back door and slammed his head on the frame. I realized the back of his head was bleeding and took him into the kitchen to see how bad it was. It was bad so we made some calls (had to make sure someone was here for Ethan to get him off the bus & tried to get a hold of Greg to meet us) and headed to the ER. He did a lot better then I was expecting but it was still no fun having to wrestle him down so the nurse could stitch him up. He ended up with only 2 stitches. I think we might have had to knock him out if it had been more.
