After my very busy boutiques the last few weeks, I definitely was ready to clean my basement toy room and sewing room. So, after getting everything picked up, I started to vacumn. Then, I heard a thud, thud, thud. I could just think, "Oh God, please don't let that be my baby." Well, it was. Gabriel fell down the whole entire flight of stairs that are not covered with anything, just linoleum. I found him at the bottom, with blood all over.
He must have hit his jaw on one of the stairs, because one tooth was laying on the floor, and another was dangling sideways in his mouth. After a lot of shaking and throwing the teeth in milk, we made it to the dentist. Don't worry, the don't do anything for baby teeth. My son is just going to be missing two of his bottom teeth for the next 5 years.
I think to myself how grateful I am that it wasn't more serious, but I probably would rather have had a broken arm. At least that goes away in 6 weeks. He won't have teeth until he is 7 and we loose teeth late in our family. Ugh.
I would take a picture, but he won't open his mouth for us to see it, and it is pretty nasty.
That same night he also fell off the couch head first and smacked into the bottom of my bed. He has no short term memory or recognition of what could possibly be dangerous, or what he has been told "no" about. I love him though, hopefully he will just survive for many more years.

I am glad that he is okay. I bet that was very scary to see your baby hurt.
So scary, good thing you are a nurse. I think I would have flipped! Especially seeing blood. but I think a broken arm would have been more painful than teeth, poor little guy. maybe next year he can dress up as a hillbilly for Halloween!?
Poor little guy!
Poor Gabriel! That's so sad. I'm sure he's still cute as ever.
Oh my, Logan fell down our entire flight of stairs yesterday. I can relate with how scary it is to have a kid fall down the stairs. We had no injuries though, so holy cow, I am very glad he (and you) is alright. How strange for him to not remember having bottom teeth. When they finally grow in he won't know what to think :)
Oh my goodness I'm so glad everything's okay! I agree with Carly. He's still adorable.
