Alyssa's hospital adventure

Nothing serious....no broken arms like the Huizenga's........but Alyssa was sooooo brave!



She was running and slipped with her socks and hit the wall. She had a pretty descent cut right in the middle of her forehead. Paul was with the kids while I was at dog school with Bella, so they cleaned it up and put a band-aid on. By the time I got home and checked it all out.....it was past 9:30...........but.......off we went to the hospital. We thought we better get it checked out since it's such a visible area. Sure enough, they used this glue stuff that sticks the skin together. He said it gets better results than stitches. Alyssa was so glad to hear that and that stitches weren't needed. She did so good talking to the Dr. and answering questions, what a big girl!!! The first question out of her mouth once we were done was......."so mom, where are we celebrating.....is donautville open or chuckie cheese?........ Do I get to stay home from school tomorrow?....."

She's so funny. She settled for a sucker from the nurse.........and since she got out of bed at 6:45 and was dancing around saying she could stay home and watch movies all day.................I sent her to school. She was excited to go and tell her friends..........so just as well. I would have let her stay home for the morning if she was sleeping................but that will be our secret----she doesn't have to know that:)
