Ruby - First Blood





Daddy Post: So Ruby gets a great new outfit from Grandma Joan and is all geeked up getting to go to school in it. Things go a little down hill from there with us getting a call that Ruby had bonked her head on a play structure at the local playground. There was a bit of blood, but Ruby was a total trooper the whole way through. At the doctor's office we had to apply some topical anesthetic on the wound before getting a shot with more anesthetic and then, for the grand finale, four staples. The doctor and nurse probably thought I was a terrible dad exploiting my daughter's misfortune for a few sensational pictures and calling her Frankenstein. Again, Ruby didn't shed a single tear and was good to go. We actually had a very fun father/daughter afternoon. The staples come out on Thursday. Hopefully I can keep them and put them alongside Marty's wisdom teeth. In the future, the Stockton museum will need such artifacts.
