A trip to the ER

Our first trip to the ER with a kid...Matt always said it would be Elizabeth that would be the cause of the first trip and he was right. This morning, while on vacation in Door County, she threw a tantrum for some reason unknown to us (her breakfast cereal that she poured was somehow not satisfactory) and she threw herself back and her chair flipped over. She hit the back of her head on the wall and somehow cut her chin (probably on the chair). We took her down to Sturgeon Bay to the ER and luckily she didn't need stitches; the doc was able to glue her chin together. She was so brave, didn't even cry in the ER. I rewarded her bravery with a couple of M&M's (the only thing in my purse at the time). Not sure I should have rewarded the result of a tantrum but had to reward her bravery. Hoping for no more ER visits in the future. This mama doesn't do well in that situation!
