Friday we had yet another first; Jackson's first trip to the emergency room. We had enjoyed a wonderful family day complete with a delicious Mexican lunch on the patio of a great restaurant. Jackson excitedly dipped his cheese bunnies into the salsa and had a blast flirting with all of the ladies sitting around us.
Then we decided to run some errands. We ended up at Sleep Experts to continue our search for a mattress. Each time Jay and I would try out a mattress of course Jackson would make his "mmmmmm" noise (which is his way of saying snuggle) with a big smile. Most beds had a paper or fabric covering at the end to keep shoes from getting the mattress dirty. The last bed we laid on had a very slippery and thick piece of plastic. Jackson stood up after trying out the bed and immediately slipped and fell directly onto his head. Poor little guy immediately had blood spots and a pretty bad carpet burn. Then as the manager was giving me his business card Jackson (still crying) fell again and busted his chin on the counter. Not fun. Jackson was crying and Jay was pretty shaken up as well. So, off we went to the ER for a few hours of fun. Jax is of course just fine and only required some dermabond for his chin. It was pretty convenient that his hair covers his banged up forehead and the spot where he busted his chin is right below his lip so it's easy to miss. The Dr. said she could have done a few stitches but he probably would have messed with them too much.
Jackson really enjoyed coloring his sheets on the er bed.

In very good spirits after two nasty falls.
Jackson's head on Sunday morning. He's healing very nicely.
Jax's chin on Sunday. The glue is still doing well despite the constant fountain of drool is resides under:)

Give his boo boos a kiss from Aunt Carolyn!
Poor Jax! What a no-fun way to end the day. I'm glad he's okay and that he's dealing with the dermabond so well. Can't wait to see you guys!
