We have had our first child-involved medical (sort-of) emergency. And frankly, I am surprised we have made it this long. L1, who trips and falls multiple times a day, happened this time to be clutching a toy to his mouth, which split open the area between his nose and upper lip. Anyone know what that area is called?


The cut was a little jagged (think Harry Potter) and wide, so we took him to the pediatrician, who glued it shut. We only needed three people to hold him still for the glueing, which was the part he hated the most. I was glad to avoid stitches because that area is really hard to keep clean. It was all pretty smooth, and L1 doesn't seem fazed by it at all.


And how did W1 handle it? Aside from a new affinity for Band-Aids, he has armed himself to protect against similar injury.
