broken bones, stitches & tree climbing. you know,boy stuff.

Jasper slammed the door on his own finger. as we pulled in to the urgent care parking lot Jasper said "All these people?!" i was like "Huh?" and he's all "All these people have smashed fingers?" it looked pretty yucky but i took him to urgent care first because last time with Embry's tongue the ER just told me it would heal together. But Urgent care did xrays and found it was broken on top of needing stitches. the doc kind of freaked me out with saying how if infection got in the cut and the bone, the top of the finger couldn't be saved. they sent me over to Cardon's children's ER and 4 hours later he was all stitched up! Its funny cause the doctor asked me if he was a nervous kid. and maybe she could tell but i was like 'yes, his fingers are always in his mouth'. well i guess because of that they gave him this medicine to make him sleepy so he wouldnt freak about getting stitched up. the medicine made him so funny. he was calm and fine but when that medicine kicked in he all the sudden kept trying to slide off the bed and laughing when i would tell him to stop. also the finger pulse thing started bothering him and would keep trying to pull it off. earlier some girls had brought him a bear he could take home. but every 2 minutes he would grab his finger pulsey thing and say "can i take this home?" it was making me laugh so much. mickey mouse clubhouse was on and at first he said"why are there 2 mickeys?" but then he'd say it about all of the characters. the nurse said it has a cyclops effect. it was pretty entertaining. when the doctor was stitching his finger she wondered at first if the nail came off with it. but it didnt. jasper bites his fingers SO far down its scary. i remember him showing me that finger the day before and thinking it was freaky how far down he bites. guess i need to buy some of that nasty tasting nail polish or something. well she had to stitch through the nail because he had a cut under the nail bed! that made me squirm seeing her stick the needle in the nail:/i was pretty paranoid about the infection thing after the ER but every night when i cleaned it it looked really good. yesterday he had a checkup with a plastic surgeon and he said it looks awesome and apologized for having boring news:)

it was wrapped like this to keep it clean and out of his mouth for the first 5 days. but now he only needs the splint to cushion the break. he handled everything so great & never really complained about it hurting.

Steven and the boys were outside climbing in my parent's tree, so me & Finny joined them. This is the same tree that my friends and i were obsessed with climbing and building clubhouses in.

this would be such a cute pic of Embry but i just cant get over those boots. my mom bought them all boots and she let Embry pick out girl ones. why?

i love steven with glasses! its so funny that he wore them almost half his life but got contacts a few months before he met me (almost 12 yrs ago!) and he never wore glasses again until after Finnick was born, crazy. steven can definetly pull off the glasses.
