Caleb "the Crusher" Jerdon, Cage Fighter?


So, yesterday we got a call from Caleb's school. According to the lady on the phone (who we later found out was just a health assistant and not a nurse), "he cut his face and might need stitches." What?!?! Was he in a fight? Did someone bust out a knife? Oh, wait, this isn't Compton. He just fell off the monkey bars and bashed himself on a bar on the way down. Only four days into the school year, and already our first injury.
We went ahead and took him to the ER just to check and be sure that none of the bone around his eye was crunched. As it turned out, the wounds were superficial and he was just going to have the best shiner in the first grade. So, here's our "Rocky" and his battle scars. You should have seen the other kid, er bar.

Poor guy! That's the worst. Abby has some wicked blisters from the monkey bars, but nothing like that - Wow! I hope that he feels better soon. What a tough guy!

HA HA, wasn't sure when I saw the picture what was wrong. As long as the "other person" bar looks worse! Poor Caleb though.... It'll make him look tough to any of the other kids!

Oh no!! Good thing he's a boy and can turn it into a cool thing to show all the kids. Im just waiting for our first ER trip with Jackson...... it seems inevitable when you have a boy

Justin will be proud. I'll leave out the bar part for a more dramatic effect, "The King defending his thrown". Its got potential! Miss you guys.
