Carter is becoming one tough guy!

My sweet little guy is the first of my children to need stitches, and he did it twice in less than two weeks.  The first time was due to a drop attack that hit his eye at the breakfast table.  He just needed one little stitch just under his eye and he was amazing!  They didn't even need to numb him up.  Unfortunately the second set of stitches was a bit more traumatic.  While at the dentist's office waiting for his sisters to get their teeth cleaned he had a drop attack that caused him to fall against the wooden train table in the waiting room and sent his bottom teeth through his bottom lip.  After looking at it the dentist sent us to urgent care to have it stitched up (he only does stitches on the inside of the mouth) who then sent us to UVRMC emergency room so that he could be sedated for the procedure.  Once at the ER they decided he needed a CT to make sure he hadn't fractured any of this facial bones, and then he kept waking from the sedation.  It ended up being a LONG night.  Luckily no serious damage was done (he looked worse than it was) and he got to eat a lot of popsicles to help the swelling go down.  Poor Boy!  He is learning to be tough, though.
