We had a great day yesterday. We bundled up and walked to the Target plaza (2.9 miles round trip) and I let him check out all the animals at Petsmart and all the video games at Best Buy and all the toys at Target before trudging back home at a decent clip (3 miles, 54 minutes and I was pushing 65+ lbs of child flesh and stroller accouterments the whole time).
Then he played out on the back porch while I got things done/watched bad movies/played my video game.
About 5pm he pooped in his pullup and decided to go potty again before getting a new one on. He then fell OFF the toilet while I was in his room grabbing a new pullup and hit his face on the bathtub.
Meet snaggletooth:
There was blood everywhere - it looked like a scene on CSI and I looked like the culprit. Somehow I kept my piece of mind, I put on a new pullup, grabbed his pants and a blanket (cold outside) and threw Henry in his seat and started out for the doctor. We were all shoeless.
However, I called on the way and they couldn't see him, so I had to deviate and get to the after-hours pediatrician. Broken teeth, blood everywhere - my son's beautiful smile. Down. The. Tubes.
Halfway there he wasn't crying anymore but I was, so we went ahead and saw the doctor (which involved me and a nurse holding him down and the doctor putting a tongue depressor between his teeth so he wouldn't get bitten) and he's fine. A bad cut on the inside of his mouth which he won't leave alone so it keeps weeping and is still swollen, and two broken teeth.
This is how he looked 20 minutes after getting home:
This morning we visited the dentist as soon as they opened, and while he wouldn't let the dentist look in his mouth, we discussed that the teeth weren't gray and they don't seem to be hurting him, so it's fine.
Fine.
Anyhow, I did take my picture for today, and I'll hope that I can keep these clothes blood-free.
Top: Old Navy, seriously old (and I'm not sure it'll make it through the 30-for 30, but I needed something quick).Bottoms: Khaki's Macy's Labor Day clearance sale in September.
Not shown - same Sketchers sneakers as yesterday
Accessories: same black sweater from yesterday, butterfly earrings, rings, and I didn't put a lick of make-up or even dry my hair this morning (I didn't take my shower last night so I woke up with Spencer's blood still between my toes. That obviously needed to be remedied quick). Now that the crisis of the day has been attended to, I'm going to go put at least something on my face before dragging Henry to the doctor because he's on day 5 of this horrible cold and I'm terrified he's going to have an ear infection the moment I go back to work. On Thursday.

Cute top.
Wow. THAT was a day, wasn't it? You poor thing! And poor Spencer! Fuss fell off "the big potty" a couple weeks ago and basically ended up in a handstand w/ half her rear balanced precariously on the toilet edge and her body inverted. I know you're not supposed to leave them in the tub full of water, for even a minute, but... I now encourage her to use her little potty instead. :)
Poor kid, but really poor you. :(
I really like the green of your shirt and those khakis look great on you.
What's 30 for 30? Did I miss a post somewhere? Also, I'm glad to hear Spencer is ok! Yikes! SCARY!! AND, I hope Henry gets better, too!!
Suz, this is the 30 for 30 challenge, and it started on Monday. Basically you choose 30 pieces of your wardrobe (shoes, pants, tops, dresses, skirts) and wear only those items in various ensembles with whatever accessories you choose and don't buy anything in those 30 days. It's supposed to help you "shop your closet" instead of going out to buy something new all the time. I'm not optimistic about being able to do it this time since I'm going back to work and don't know what I'm getting into, etc, but I thought it would be fun to try.
LOL! Got it! I was so confused by it...well, I'm not fitting in my clothes yet so this won't work for me right now. Maybe I'll participate in the next one....
