Beckett has been begging for a machete. For months. Finally, we gave in. Well, the other day his friend really wanted to see it. Against Becketts better judgement, he got it out to show him. As he was putting in back into the sheath, he missed and sliced his finger open. It ended up being deep and big and needing stitches.
Although he was terrified to get stitches, he did great. He cut a blood vessel and it would not stop bleeding, so the procedure ended up being long and painful. Luckily for Dr. Dan, our cousins husband, Beckett felt comfortable and at ease. It also helped that little Kyle made sure Beckett had Monkey before he left. In fact, Kyle was the star of the evening. He ran to get Becketts shoes and socks and sat next to Beckett with his arm around him. The minute we left, he knelt down and prayed for his big brother. Its moments like those I feel like we're doing something right as parents.
