Ok, so how did i end up with this gash on my forehead?
When you take a 3 year old running at full speed before tripping and landing teeth first on your head, that's generally what happens.....
Yesterday i was playing with my children. I was laying on the ground as i regularly do while they take turns jumping on me, when suddenly the older of the two (Gretchen) runs off down the hall laughing hysterically. The little guy (Riley), decides 'that looks fun' and takes off after her. Left laying in the middle of the floor, waiting for them to come back, i zone out a little. The stomping coming back down the hallways snaps me back to reality, but only just in time to hear the pattern of footsteps change as she trips. I feel her head hit mine. The tears start flowing, and after lots of mummy and daddy cuddles i was ok... as was she..... ; )
Yes, the gash to my forehead is nothing, more concerning is that my little girl has knocked a 'baby' tooth loose.
She is not in any pain and she is able to eat, which would suggest that she is going to live! A trip to the dentist may be in order though, depending on how she goes over the next couple of days.
