Ellie's accident

I never imagined that Ellie would be the first one of the kids to get stitches.  We got a call from school telling us she fell and hit her head on the corner of the door and had a cut on her head.  We have had calls before for bumps, bruises and small cuts and typically they are nothing to worry about.  This time was a little different as they said while they had the bleeding under control they really wanted one of us to come take a look and make an assessment of whether she needed to be taken in.  Cory happened to be working from home so he picked her up.   Neither of us really gave any thought to where to take her so Cory just took her to the pediatricians office since they had walk in hours.  She got three stitches and did really well the whole time at the doctor.  In hindsight I'm worried that we should have taken her to a plastic surgeon.  I know it sounds vain, but I really don't want my daughter to have a Frankenstein scar on her head.  I guess we'll will see how it heals. 

Brady felt bad for Ellie, but I think he was also jealous of the attention she was getting.  He got a very small scratch on his head and insisted that it needed a bandaid and that it was just as bad as Ellie's cut.
