Only a Matter of Time

Well, it happened. Spencer busted his face on the brick in front of the fireplace this morning. Funny thing is, he wasn't even playing on the bricks like he normally is. He was laying of his belly on a pillow in front of the hearth and he propped himself up on his arms, slipped, and smacked the bricks with his mouth. He split the inside of his lip pretty good and broke off about 2/3 of a front tooth. I now have to take him to a dentist 45 minutes away because of our health insurance so that a dentist can look to see if it will need to be pulled or just left alone until it falls out. What a stressful moment of time that is. All I saw was tons of blood and Spencer crying hard, which he never cries hard. So after a few frantic calls, Nick's mom drove over and helped me assess the situation. I couldn't get in touch with Nick. I told him when called at lunch that I needed him to get me emergency phone numbers for situations like this. He's not allowed to use his cell phone while he's in school. I'm tired, my poor son's smile is now altered, but it's still cute, and his mouth is swollen on the one side to the size of a small grape. When is the next traumatic injury going to happen? After all, I do have boys...
