Stitches

Ashton came up to me crying at the pool yesteday with a chin covered in blood. I rinsed it off and saw a pretty deep cut. He cried for those first few minutes and then calmly sat holding gauze on it and asked for some snacks. A few awesome friends and lifeguards later and we were headed to the ER. I called David and he met me in the ER parking lot. The girls and I were still in swimsuits so David was there while Ashton got 3 stitches on his chin. He didn't cry at all although he does ask us to keep the bandaide on at all times because he doesn't want to gross people out. Stitches are a right of passage and I'm thrilled to welcome Ashton to the big boy club. The biggest bummer of the entire ordeal for Ashton and I is that we've got to stay out of the pool for a whole 5 days. Now that I'm comfortable with all 3 at the pool even in my largely pregnant condition I'm so bummed we'll have to miss a few days in the water and so is Ashbug!
