Well, Jarrett made it 6 years before needing stitches. Given his personality and hunger for pushing the limits, I am surprised he made it this far! :)
On Monday Jarrett and I were in the garage sorting our recyclables, and he wanted to crush cans in the bench vise. Somehow...(he is not willing to give an account of the event)...the vise fell off the tool bench and landed just above his knee. It took a big chunk of his leg as the vise fell to the ground, which thankfully missed his foot!
I scooped him up, gave him a towel, and we were off to the doctor. Doctor S. concluded Jarrett needed stitches and did it right there in the office. Daddy arrived just as I was getting 'overwhelmed'...in case you don't know, I don't handle blood, doctors, or hospitals well, at all!
Jarrett was such a brave, strong boy. While he is still really sore and favors his leg as he walks, the swelling is going down and appears to be healing well.
6 years and 6 stitches! All boy! :)

What a trophy for a boy...stitches in the leg are definitely badges of honor!
Glad he is okay. What a brave boy!
