cooper's first stitches

so i uploaded the pictures backwards...the 2nd two are the day after they were put in and the first two pictures are 3 days after they were placed

so here is what happened to my poor buddy.... he somehow decided to get into the recycling and pull an empty can out. it was the only can in there and i specifically pushed the lid all the way down so the sharp lid wouldn't be sticking out. apparently, cooper thought he needed to dig the lid out with his chubby little fingers. he promptly ran over to mike with the can on his hand and yelling "stuck, stuck!" i was at work so mike was able to remove the can and off to the ER they came after mike sent me a picture of the injury. cooper was very brave and i put 3 stitches in his finger. he only cried during the "needle" parts and kept saying "up" because we had him wrapped up in a sheet. he was so good and stopped crying as soon as the suturing was done. he's been super good about letting us change the bandage. he actually would get worried and say "uh-oh" repeatedly if the bandage would come off. as you can tell it's healing well and he's completely fine with showing you his "ouchie"!
