Boydie's Stitches

I sure hated to get that phone call from Boyd's teacher on Thursday that told me Boyd got hurt at school and I needed to come get him. I was glad Ken hadn't left for work yet, so he was able to come. When we got to his school we were expecting to hear our screaming kid throughout, but he was calm and just holding a bloody paper towel next to his eye. We took one look and said, oh dear he needed stitches for sure and went straight to the instacare. We couldn't believe how good Boyd was! He didn't cry at all and sat completely still through the whole process and the doctor and nurses were just in awe at this tough kid.
Of course we didn't think of taking a before picture, but this is the same day.
Poor Lucy was just dying for some attention, but she was still a sweet thing worrying about her brother while he was getting stitched up.
This morning it looks a bit worse because of the bruising, but he said it doesn't hurt anymore. He keeps talking about how he is so brave and strong. It is true, Boyd is AMAZING!
