Yesterday Fletcher was cooking dinner and the kids decided to help. Katelynn was stirring the chicken in a frying pan when Mason went to help by getting a chair and putting it next to her when she just happened to pick up the pan, then turned and ask Fletcher if it was done. Mason was bent over trying to climb up the chair when he got burned. It was so hard to see Mason crying because he was hurt. Also Katelynn was crying because she felt so bad that she had hurt her brother.
Today we were all getting ready to go to Walmart. I just had finished combing the kids hair and I had told them to go get their shoes on. While I was getting dressed I heard Mason yell and he started to cry. When I went into the kitchen I saw Fletcher holding Mason over the sink with a paper towel covered with blood. When I had asked what had happened he pointed to a little pampered chief chopping knife on the floor. I really didn't no how bad it was until I saw blood gushing out of the middle of his finger. So we decided to take him in to the emergency room. The Doctor told us there really was no way to keep it together without stitches. So to cause less trauma for the little guy the Doctor gave him this stuff to sedate him. It was a drink, and getting that down him was the worst of it all. He cried more from that then when they stitched him up. He was so cute after the stuff stared working he was drooling Fletcher kept telling him to swallow but he just thought it was so funny and started blowing spit bubbles. He had us all laughing! It's funny for a little two year old to be hurt and be the life of the party. He was really cracking us all up. He was such a brave little man even the Doctor and nurse was getting a kick out of him. When they started stitching him up he just watched the whole thing without even a tear. Katelynn and I on they other hand could not even watch it, it was so horrible.
After all of this I really hope that he learned his lesson for as many times as we have told him not to play with knives or anything sharp.
