Slides & Stiches

Last week Calvin began going down the taller slides and the spiral slides for the first time. It started with the spiral. He finally went for it, first on his belly, then facing forward sitting up. After that, he has been loving it - the taller the better, the more curves the more fun.
Yesterday while racing to the top of the tall, steep slide, while holding a ball, Calvin slipped and bit his lower lip. Blood all down his chin, it took us a bit to realize how deep the cut was, and we decided to boogie down to the ER - just in case. 3 stitches later, Calvin will still have a gorgeous smile. Cal was really amazing, his big upset was leaving the playground. His parents, a little shaken, but moving on.
