Call Child Protective Services

 So this is a little late coming and I don't have that many pictures from the first event, but our little Jakie got 5 stitches not once, but twice in the month of March. Jake's never really been the cautious type and in the middle of March he got his first cut right smack dab in the middle of his forehead with an exercise band. Note to any kids reading this; never play tug of war with an exercise band with hard plastic handles! Then 2 weeks later, 8 days after having the first set of stitches removed on the Sunday we were celebrating Lilly's birthday, he fell off a skateboard and pulled a Aunt Meggie and split his chin open requiring another 5 stitches. When I took him to the Urgent care again to get stitched up the second time they gave me the old "Should we call CPS on you?" look, but apparently our story was convincing enough that no authorities were notified:) Anyway, Jake took it like a champ and got both sets of stitches placed without any problem and he's now back to running around figuring out which manner will best suit him to acquire his next set of stitches. It's not about "if", it's about "when."

Just carrying on the tradition of keeping the family in stitches.

Jake asking if he can get a tongue piercing while we're here.

Shan and I were so worried about his cut we tried a new home remedy: "Let Jake stay for Lilly's party, cover the wound with cupcake frosting, and cover it with a band aid. On second thought maybe the doctor should have called CPS.

This picture has nothing to do with Jake's stitches. I just love it!
