The kids were all enjoying the lovely day yesterday & they were following daddy around the yard while he cleaned up.
It had been quiet for awhile & Peter had been mowing the lawns – which haven’t been done in about 3 months, yet they were only about an inch or so high 
– so I wandered out to the front yard to see what was happening. P was just turning off the lawnmower when I saw Ashton’s face take on a look of surprise, he stood dead still & started crying. The poor tyke copped a stray stone off the mower 
He wouldn’t even move, I ran & grabbed him ’cause I suspected right away what had happened & as I approached, saw his chin/lip bleeding, so ran him inside to clean it up.
I was a pretty deep cut so we decided to take him to the A&E - One Stitch & no Local later, we were home. The poor boy had to be wrapped & held down to have a single stitch placed just below the lip in the indent on the chin (if that makes any sense). The lovely Dr tried steri-strips to start, but they weren’t holding, so he mentioned a stitch with a local, then it turned into no local 
the Dr decided that it would be quicker & better off without it, but he took it so well! There was some crying of course, but it can’t have been any worse than the nasty stone that clipped him, though I think someone learned his lesson about placing the mower on or near the stones in our parking bay (silly man!) but I didn’t give him too much flack over it, probably felt bad enough!
Now I just have to keep an eye on Ashtons lip as its looking like a puss filled blister where an edge of the stone must have hit, so I’ll put some Foban on for today & see how it looks in the morning, or it could be another trip to the Drs 
I don’t really want to give ABs, but he might just need some.
I didn’t take any pics of his big fat lip, but I’ll have to at least take a pic of him stitched up with his lone stitch for the Photo album
