Chick Magnets!

Over the last few days we have had a few little mishaps that Hunter has recognized as possibly "chick magnets" - aka bruises and scars. Dallin and Tyler were wrestling on Sunday night and Tyler pushed Dallin into the corner of the fireplace....he cracked his head pretty good. We took him down to our resident nurse (Anne Webb) and had her take a peek at it - we usually Aunt Trish for this, but she has moved away....so Anne helps us out. As I cleaned in out I thought it looked pretty wide and might need stitches but we checked for Anne's opinion before we took him in. She agreed, that it was pretty wide and probably could use a few stitches....so I took him to urgent care - along with Tyler ( he was so upset that he hurt his best buddie- he wanted to help him) . They took a quick look and said yep, they could use some staples and get it closed up nicely. So, they put on some topical numbing cream and then 2 staples and we were off. Dallie was a trooper....he chatted with both the nurses and the on call physician (winning them over completely of course with his charm) and when it came time for the staples, he laid down and after the first one he tensed up and said "mom, that hurts...." but he was so brave and he didn't really cry at all. Here he is just sitting in the room waiting for the staples to be put in while the numbing cream took root.

Here - he's just chilling on the medical table, talking with Tyler and I.

Then we walked to the parking lot he got a Spiderman sticker and a sucker! He was pretty stoked. He had trouble sleeping last night, but seems just fine this morning.

Tyler got the sucker and sticker too...for being a good brother.

This is Hunter's eye after soccer practice last week. I told him I had some essential oils that would help the bruising heal faster - but he declined saying the it was a chick magnet and he wanted it to last as long as possible.
