So after five years and three months with kids and more than two and a half years with two, we finally succumbed to the emergency room yesterday afternoon, and inevitably, it was the younger one of the two that led us there.
For some reason, she pulled the piano bench over onto her foot. Off came the toenail, and blood appeared, so off to NYU hospital.
About five hours and six stitches later, the fearless one was back. We’ll see if this causes her to lose her nerve. I doubt it, somehow.
UPDATE: It was eight, not six stitches.
