Stitches or Glue

This was not the question I was anticipating on the first day back to school after Christmas break.  However, Ryder and his friends were playing a friendly game of tag they forgot the rule of running near the big toy.  As Ryder try to dart away he forgot about it and ran right into it instead.  

He promptly told his teacher that he was fine and to please not call his Mom.  The boys weren't sure of how it happened since they were only playing tag.  Mom was called and found him sitting in the office with an ice pack and all the secretary telling me how brave he was.  He asked me if he had to get a shot or go to the doctor.

Off we went....Emergency Room.....InstaCare....Doctor's Office????  Having no experience I decided to start first with the doctor's office.  The nurses weren't sure so they called the doctor into to take a look.  

Stitches or Glue was the question of the day.  My choice was glue after Ryder let out a yelp of NO NEEDLES!!!!

After
After a good scrubbing, 4 layers of glue we were ready to leave.  It was lunch time and Ryder was starving.  I guess he wasn't hurt bad enough not eat.

Update...The glue fell off and long with it most of his eyebrow.  Let's hope that grows back in and the scar fades.  If not the doctor told him scars are cool and chicks dig them.
