Once again, Micah has found a way to hurt himself. Last night he nearly ended up in the emergency room getting stitches again, thanks to the bright idea of dressing up like a girl (Emmalee turned him into "Michaela") and then attempting to walk down the basement stairs in his dress.
Steve was outside with Lily, I was at the grocery store, and Micah & Em were playing. After showing Steve how cute Micah looked in a dress (and getting a picture of it!), Em and Micah went back inside. The next thing Steve knows, Emmalee is screaming that Micah has fallen down the stairs. Steve runs down the basement stairs to find Micah in the playroom, crying, with a HUGE lump over his right eye. As it continued to swell, the skin split open.
This was what I came home to: Micah, in a Disney Princess dress and a lot of jewelry, lying in the recliner, holding an ice pack wrapped in a bloody paper towel over his eye. It was a pretty nasty split.
Micah was lucky he didn't need to go get stitches. Steve and I are lucky Micah didn't need to go get stitches - I guarantee you if he ended up in that emergency room last night, someone from DCF would have been out to our house to take a look around, after his broken arm in April, and the stitches in his foot last month. This boy is an accident waiting to happen. Th
ank God he was okay!

love that steve took a moment to capture Micah as Michaela - from the sounds of it this might be the last time. sorry that the fairy tale had an unhappy ending.
I guess I'm thankful, on that note... to have 3 girls??? Ha. I don't think I could handle all the blood and gore and ER visits! Poor boy...
