Beware of Butter knives!

Ben was helping me do the dishes this morning and fell down. I scooped him up,gave him a cuddle didn't think much of it until I noticed my shirt was spotted with blood and his hand was covered.
Silly boy sliced his thumb right on top of the knuckle with the butter knife he was holding. I gave him a bandaid and some ibuprofen and we hung out for an hour or so until he pulled the band aid off. That was one deep cut now that the bleeding had slowed. I wasn't sure how deep was too deep, but it was more than I was comfortable with so I called the pedi and the told me to head to the children's hospital ER. I thought that was a bit extreme so we took him to the insta clinic down the road. A friend gave me a tip just last week that a guy from our stake was a doctor there. We ended up seeing him, and he was great. By the time we were seen it had sealed up again so all we needed was smoke glue to keep it closed. Oh and some green ice cream on the way home!

This is officially our first trauma visit with the boys...unfortunately I doubt it will be the last. However, I keep thinking.... Really? A butter knife?
