Brigham was playing with the other kids in the backyard today when I heard a cry of pain. (I can tell I have been a mom for a while now, because I can finally tell the difference in the kids' cries.) I ran out to see Brigham laying face down in the grass right next to a cement step. He must have been running after Joy, who just went into the garage, and somehow tripped and caught his head on the edge of the step. I guess I should just be glad that he hit his forehead and not another part of his face. Can you imagine what that would have done to teeth? Yikes! I tried to put ice on the bump, but Brigham really wanted to eat it, so I let him. I figured that if it calmed him down, it didn't really matter where the ice went.
If you leave his bangs alone, they cover the spot pretty well. I guess I will put his haircut off another couple of weeks...

I know exactly what it would have done...I don't know how old I was, but I got dropped on some concrete steps and then the girl landed on me...she wasn't big enough to be trying to carry me, and whack! I had broken teeth...I didn't look in the mirror for YEARS! Maybe that's what's wrong with me.. ;) I still have marks left over from it, because I was old enough that my Adult teeth had started forming under my gums.
I'm glad Brigham is ok...cute little guy!
