For a while, Nate had been telling us that he wanted to have 7 sets of stitches by the time he's 7. Well, he pulled that off in no time at all. We had some friends over and the kids were out jumping on the tramp. Nate jumped off (the tramp is dug in the ground) and his foot slipped between the tramp and the ground and he hit some metal under the tramp. It gave him a good slice. We headed straight over to the office and Nate was on cloud 9 (after getting numb).
He wanted to watch every stitch and ask every question about all the "stuff" inside his leg. It was pretty gross if you ask me. But I was pretty humored by how interested Nate was. He sat like this the whole time so he could watch up close.
26 stitches in all (10 underneath)
He was so excited to show the girls when he got home. Ash and Sadie were great babysitters and took care of the babies while we were gone.

'Such a brave boy you are Nate! Just like your Dad! So cool that you are able to take care of those emergencies so well, Dave!
We love and miss you all-

Wow. That is one serious cut. I have no desire to watch stitches being put in myself or anyone else...
