Stitches

To Craig's Dad's way of thinking, Craig is a very accomplished little man. During the process of growing up there are many firsts to be completed but Craig seems to be ahead of the pack in some ways. Or, perhaps just ahead of where Craig's Dad was at the same age.......

Unfortunately, some firsts are not as positive as others.

Craig has now received his first stitches. He needed three stitches for a cut next to his left eye that he received when he fell down at home. Craig's Mum said that he stubbed his toe on his highchair and then fell face first onto a horizontal support between two legs of a dining chair. The accident happened on Sunday afternoon when Craig's Dad was at work and Craig was at home with only Craig's Mum to help. Craig's Mum tried to stop the bleeding herself but sought expert medical help after her efforts were not immediately successful.


When Craig's Dad arrived home from work that night Craig was already asleep.


Strangely, the next morning, when Craig woke up to find Craig's Mum was not there but his Dad was lying beside him he seemed pretty happy.


And, he stayed happy all the way through breakfast!! He's a bit difficult to understand sometimes but it was good to see him in such a good mood.
