at least it wasn't the ER
but it was an emergency trip to the dentist to make sure we didn't need to go to the ER.
and at the end of a very eventful day.
it all started with a smoking car.
next, my six-week-check-up.
a picnic on a beautiful sunny, spring day.
a borrowed a diaper from another group of mom's for one nasty poop.
AND
a face plant on the concrete after jumping off a two foot step.
little bit just has it in for his mouth. this is the second major mouth injury in the last 8 months. of course, there have been lots of little ones but this one is the only other major one: a gum lacerations and two chipped teeth..... oh, and lots of blood.
of course the car at this point has been delivered to the auto shop (thank you awesome husband), so i can't actually get to my pediatrician across town nor do i actually have his phone number. BUT my friend has our mutual dentist in her cell..... one phone call and a three block walk with a screaming two year old and we are sent home with a prescription for popsicles and an ice pack. OH, and get rid of the paci - DONE! he did knock his teeth hard and cut the gum above his top teeth. it is pretty gnarly looking when you lift up his top lip. the chips are slight but there. we are alive and no one is crying anymore.
now, i am ready for bed and it is only afternoon snack time. phew.
