A few weeks shy of turning four, Joy was standing on a chair, fell off, and did a doozie of a number on her eyebrow. She apparently got all her tears out when it first happened, because she was such a champ in the urgent care (I reversed the camera for this, so it was actually her left eyebrow that was injured). Maybe she's just awesome like that, or maybe it was the two popsicles they gave her.
She never cried while they were putting the stitches in, and she was literally telling little jokes to the staff while they were working on her. Bless her sweet soul. Then she got home and completely fell apart, fell asleep, and woke up ready to take on the world with her stitches in.
She has a little scar there now, and Jake thinks it's the coolest and super appropriate for Joy's full-on personality. I honestly keep forgetting to put anything on it, so hopefully she'll forgive me if it's still there when she's a teenager and instead just own it like a champ. I've got a feeling these won't be our family's only stitches, but it's probably a good thing to keep our house of pink a little on the tougher side!
