2nd ER visit for Sawyer

Took a trip to the ER tonight with Sawyer for some stitches. Apparently he was spinning around and knocked his face into the corner of the wall. It happened while rick was gone and I was sleeping.

Together we took him to Mercy Children’s Hospital and he wanted Amelie to come with us.

Conversations

I taught myself that.   This girl is strong and confident and I love that about her. Hopefully we can mix in a little bit of humility with time and she will be a force to be reckoned with!
