Pucker up

For those slightly squeemish this post may not be for you.  Our little Ollie chose to make our bank holiday weekend a bit more interesting by spending the day at a&e.  It all started at the playground, and as he has done many times before, Ol went to climb up the little 4 ft slide instead of slide down it.  Just as he reached the top, his foot slipped as it had recently rained, and whump, lip meets corner of metal slide.  Ouch!  While I was rushing around in a panic gathering scooter, bike, buggy & Jake, Rich was calmly but purposefully striding through the park holding Oliver to get a taxi to the hospital.  After a consultation from 'plastics', the decision was made to let his lip heal naturally, rather than administer a general anaesthetic to stitch it up.  The doctor also said, 'And besides, he's a lad!  A few scars add a bit of character:)'  Well, we are hoping it will be a small character-building scar, and maybe years from now he will say 'I got this scar from my days in London'.  ;-)

 A few hours later, we went in for the close-up pic

Eating is not a problem for him and has probably managed to score a few extra treats from us!

Even water shooting directly into his mouth doesn't make him flinch!

Still full of mischief too:)
