Poor Nils

Nils' Kindergarten called on Thursday to tell me that he had fallen and hit his head. They thought I should take him to the hospital for stitches. Expecting the worst, I got there and he was playing and still running around and there as virtually no blood. (How?)

Poor Nils needed three stitches in his forehead. He was in a great mood, playing and joking around. Until the needle came. The it was all over. it took three adults to hold him down and one to stitch him up. Thank goodness he only needed three- I was tired! Wish me luck on Thursday when we do the same procedure in reverse.

I was lucky the Kindergarten called when it did. Just fifteen minutes later and I would have been pretty far away. Luckily, I was just climbing into the car when it happened. Or else he would have had to go in an ambulance. (Don't tell Nils, he might be upset that he didn't!).

And the accident? Apparently a bunch of the kids were running in a no-run zone (hallway). Of course it was my kid who fell and got hurt. Maybe they learned something!
