Why jumping around in the bathtub is never a good idea

Dear Mr. Porter: how many times has your Mom told you that the tub is for sitting, not for sliding, climbing, jumping, or running?

More than you can count, right?

I am now assuming that you know why.

It may not look all that bad, but that puppy was deep.

I, of course, wanted to rush him to the hospital to get sewn up.  Over reaction?  Heck ya.  But I tend to over react in any kind of medical or first aid situation.  Luckily, there happened to be an EMT and two nurses on hand to assess the situation while I busied myself taking photos and pretending that the blood pouring from my son's chin wasn't going to make me faint.

It was decided that some super glue and steri-strips were all that the cut needed.  Porter still needed some convincing (he wanted to slap a band-aid on it and pretend that nothing was wrong).

So the procedure was carried out on my Momma's kitchen table by Uncle Chris and Dad.

Five traumatizing minutes later, it was done.

And snuggles with Dad made everything better.

And now, a week later, this is all that's left of the horrible cut:

Yeah, it's a pretty crappy picture, but as you can see, it healed up nicely.

Porter has now joined the ranks of his Dad and Merrill uncles in having a pretty awesome chin scar.
