Dear Hayden,

Yesterday you took your frist trip to the ER. We were eating lunch at Costco with Elizabeth and the boys and you got up to walk with me to the trash can. You tripped on your own feet and took the corner of a bench to the corner of your eye. It didn’t require stitches, but they did butterfly bandage it. I took a fall very similar to this when I was 3. You were cracking everyone up at the ER — but you did not like being held down for the cleaning and bandaging at all!! They told us it’s going to heal nicely and you will be just fine!

Love you,
Mama
