ER Anyone?!?

*Pictures attached. View at own risk* ;o)

I'm pretty sure that with 3 boys we will make our fair share of trips to the ER, and I have a feeling that the majority of them will be because of Jacoby. The kid is NUTS!

We made our first trip with him on Labor day. (We've only had to make 1 prior trip when E was 5 months old and had RSV.) Ever since we moved Jacoby into a bed, he refuses to take a nap. He typically just plays, makes a mess, and then eventually I give up (I know I know, I'm not supposed to give in). Well, that day I had put him in his room and about 20 min. later I hear a thud. I asked Jared to go check on him so he did. Jacoby had dumped out all the diapers and was playing in the box. Jared told him to get back in bed and quit playing. An hour or so goes by and we could still hear him playing but he was staying in his room so I didn't care. All of a sudden we hear another loud crash, but I just figured he was playing so I ignored it. A few seconds later he comes out with blood everywhere. Long story short....we THINK he had been playing in the diaper box again and was trying to get out of it when it tipped over and he when sailing into the wall. I know that mouth wounds heal quickly but I had never seen a cut this deep so Jared and I decided to take him in and have it checked. When we got to the ER we were told the wait was around 3 hours (UGH). When the nurse came out to get all our info she told us she didn't think the Dr. would do anything. She went and got him and he came and looked at it real quick. He said he could put a stitch in it but it would be a while and it would be more trouble than it was worth. SO, we left.

This kid is just crazy, right after leaving the hospital we went to pick E and Q up from my parents house and the first thing Jacoby did was climb onto the couch and jump off! Pretty sure I'll be writing about another trip to the ER...I just hope he waits a while :0) Here is a pic of his mouth right after it stopped bleeding.
