Little Scissors

Before Dallin went in to get his stitches out we did a little role playing. His dog had gotten hurt and Ralph needed fixing. Dallin was so cute reading him a story and telling him it would be ok. We stitched him up and then took the scissors to the threads. I think it was positive because Dallin was very relaxed at the hospital inviting everyone to go out for ice cream with us after he was brave. He told the doctor that he needed little scissors and that he didn't want to take the stitches home with him because they were scratchy. By the time we left the entire staff was laughing at him, so cute when he turned to leave, waved, and yelled, "see you next time I get stitches." I was so proud! We went to get ice cream as promised, and we ordered the only treat with all is requests, chocolate sauce, cherries, razzle dazzle topping, sprinkles, and whipped cream (from a little people movie), needless to say, we shared.

What a clever idea! I'll have to remember the scissor thing. Your boys are adorable! And I would totally be freaking out not being able find my kids. I'm glad all turned out well. And what a sweet picture of Reed asleep on your hamper. Love it! I hope all is well with you!
