Carson's "little" accident

Carson took a tumble onto some rocks when Garrett got a wild hair to take a ride on the rope swing. Doug and the other kids were all standing at the water's edge, but it just so happened that Carson was the one to be in Garrett's path.

3 of his top teeth knocked loose toward the back of his mouth, but they moved back when I put some ice on the backside of his gums. The teeth aren't quite back to their original position, but they are at least straight up and down. His gap between the front teeth is a bit wider, but he's still as cute as ever. Hopefully, his teeth will stay in until his adult teeth are ready to push them out. He is fine and happy as long as we give him ibuprofen every 7-8 hours. Luckily, the mouth does seem to heal rather quickly, so I'm sure he'll be back to his normal happy self in no time.

These kind of accidents seem to turn this mom into a nervous wreck. After this little spill I would hardly let Carson out of my sight. I didn't even want him to ride on the cable swing. Of course, he wanted Doug to pull him really high. I didn't even watch him go down. Somehow he survived playing outside all day Saturday and I even let him go to the nursery on Sunday (not without hesitation though).


His mouth was pretty sore, but he still managed to give a cheesy, crooked grin for the camera.
