Brady's Little Accident

Mr. Brady had a little accident at Papa's house yesterday. They play together outside for literally 3 hours every time he goes up there and Brady just took a bad fall right on the gravel, and landed on his face. The results were a pretty bad scratched face and a chipped tooth. We were thankful it was nothing more serious.

Brady didn't seem to mind or care one bit that his tooth was chipped or that his face was so scratched up. So, it definitely affected mommy and daddy more. Way more. These are the times when we are very thankful daddy is a dentist. We prepped Brady by telling him that daddy was going to fix his tooth and that he would get a special treasure when he is all done. He seemed to understand pretty well.

Tommy, Tommy's assistant Debbie, and I went into the office this morning. My job was to hold Brady down while knee to knee with Tommy. I had no idea how hard that would be. It was a VERY stressful 4 minutes. Tommy did a fantastic job, despite the screaming, wiggly, and crying child. I was very impressed.

When we were all done, Brady got to pick out a toy in the toy box. He picked a soccer ball, a rocket, and a little car. He seemed to forget the whole experience once he had those toys.

Brady is seriously an active boy. I am so so surprised this has not happened sooner. Tommy's mom told me that when Tommy was a toddler, he ALWAYS has a bruise, scratch, or a scar on him. Along with several ER visits. Like father like son. Right?

Here are a couple of pictures of before and after. The second one may look like we seriously abuse our child. We dont. :) He just took a serious fall, and this is to prove it!!

Face still scratched but happy that daddy was my hero and fixed my tooth:)
