Do you remember the Saturday Night Live skit "Massive Head Wound Harry"? William has entered the time of life where he is confident enough in his walking to be extremely dangerous. He is constantly falling or running head first into anything he can find. His favorite place to hit is right in the center of his forehead. The day before Ash Wednesday he decided to throw himself into a chair and make Mommy worry whether or not he needed a stitch. Daddy ran to Walgreens and got a box of butterfly bandages that I'm sure we'll be needing. Pastor Niell had to put Will's ashes on the side of his head (which looked pretty funny). What a good reminder that "We are but dust and ashes". He's healing nicely now, ready for the next accident!
Liquid Bandage works really well too. I ripped my head open a few years ago on a nail. Washed my hair while a friend ran to the store for me and she applied it as instructed. FABULOUS!
