The Ice Skating Incident

Eli's homeschool co-op had their Christmas party at an ice skating rink.  Of course I was working so I couldn't be there.  From what I understand, he had a great time.  When we've gone ice skating in the past, he wouldn't let go of the wall.  This place had pickle buckets that the kids could hold on to while skating around.  I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but somehow Eli fell forward and hit his chin on the buckets.  He didn't think much of it until Shelby took him to the bathroom to clean him up, and he saw himself and all of the blood in the mirror.  She said that he never really got too upset under the circumstances. 

She took him to the hospital and I left work and met them there.  He ended up getting two stitches in his chin.  He was so brave the entire time.  He never cried or even got upset.  What a brave guy!!
