Harry Potter's Got Nothing on Ryan
I am lazy and don't have a picture to show, but we had another little trip to the Urgent Care last night. Ryan was riding his bike (too fast, like usual) and took a nice spill onto the concrete. He had his helmet on, but it wasn't positioned well enough to protect his forehead from a nice little cut. It really isn't very big, but will end up being another scar right on his forehead - in between his eyebrows. We didn't think it was quite bad enough for stitches, but since it was right on his face, I thought I should be safe and take him in. He ended up with just surgical tape (thankfully). Unfortunately, he bled so much afterwards that the tape ended up coming off today. I made a makeshift butterfly bandage so here's hoping it works well enough.
I just wish that boy of ours could learn how to slow down a little. He is such a mover and is obsessive about speed. Oh well - being fearless and daring has its up-sides too. Doesn't it?

Classic how the entry about him riding a bike is followed by an entry with him going to the ER.
yes, that is classic. Funny Jen that in the videos Derek is encouraging Ryan to go faster, "let see how fast you can get going..." hahaha. Looks like Ryan isn't the only Dare devil, unless Derek is living vicariously through Ryan. Doubt that, I do remember that big waterslide. Oh the times... :) MISS YOU!
And Jen, if I didn't say it before, you're tiny! I don't know how you could think you were big at all, or as you say, "fat picture". I looked at your mom's blog and I couldn't believe how small you are. Man, are those genes?!
Yeah, what could we expect? I remind myself everyday to just let him try new things and see how capable he is. He usually surprises me and that's why we have health insurance. ;)
Don't you hate how much head injuries bleed?! It's just awful. As if it's not bad enough that they're hurt, there's all this blood to freak you out! Do they do stitches anymore? Lily fell and cut the corner outside her eye, but I didn't take her in because I didn't think they'd do anything but tape it up. It's healed so horribly, I wish I had done something - though I don't know what!
