first stitch

"I was racing on my scooter, and the mailbox hit me". 
Those were Elias's words to the doctor when he was asked what happened to his head. 
Our lazy Saturday turned into a lot of blood and a visit to Quick Care for Elias's first stitch.
I was so shocked at how well he did with the doctor. He just laid on the bed perfectly still, and answered every question the doctor asked. He didn't even flinch when he got a numbing shot.
After he was all stitched up, the doctor gave him a popsicle, a sticker, and a sucker. He asked for a Captain America sticker for his brother. I thought that was pretty sweet of him.  

The mailbox attacking Elias didn't slow him down one bit. As soon as we got home, he handed Isaiah his sticker and immediately went outside to play. 

The doctor got a hoot out of Elias's attire. One swimming shoe. One running shoe. Awesome.

He hadn't even had the stitch for an hour, and he was up in the tree.

There it is. The one stitch that caused so much blood.
