The Wood Family

Let me start off by saying I just don't get it! A couple of weeks ago Dawson, for reasons beyond my own comprehension, decided it would be fun, thrilling, cool (I guess) to ride his bike down our cement stairs outside that lead to our basement. He did this without wearing a helmet either because he said "I will stay in the backyard Mom." Silly me, I figured that would be O.K. since I didn't think he could go fast enough to get hurt. Just proof I do not think like a boy! He came in crying with scrapes to his hands. Yep that was it. I tried once again to explain to him about being safe. He simply said I am fine I only hurt my hands! SERIOUSLY! No stitches, no broken bones, no helmet, He is so lucky and I guess I count my blessing on that. However luck has to run out some time right? That some time was last night. Last night Dawson was dancing- thats right just dancing in the kitchen when he spun around and whacked his head on the corner of the bottom cabinet. He cut his head right above and into his eyebrow. Off to the ER we went to get his first set of stitches. I say first because I am not naive enough to think he will somehow learn from this. He was really brave at the hospital. He was really nervous about getting a shot but Daddy gave him a blessing before we left, so he was calm and even telling the Dr. jokes. He laid so still when he was getting his stitches-I was so proud, he only sits still when he sleeps! All in all he handled it so well and was a very brave trooper! I just wish I could actually know how to protect him. Apparently he can be evil- canivel outside but no dancing inside. Like I said earlier I just don't get it!!
