Bite Off More Than You Can Chew?

I have often "bit off more than I could chew"..... not in the literal sense. But today Gage did so literally.....
The coffee table was more than he could handle....
He tripped over his blanket on the floor and fell forward with his lip connecting on the edge of the coffee table and then sliding up into his upper gum tissue. Poor boy..... and it bled so bad.
He looks like he got beat up.... he has a swollen ear from a mosquito bite and two fat lips.

OUCH! It gives me the chills just looking at it again. He sure was a tough kid though.... after only about a minute, he just kept telling me... "me otay mom, me otay."

I was really worried about his teeth, but they're not loose, so we're crossing our fingers they stay good and anchored, and they don't die from being hit so hard.

Poor kiddo! He sure seems tough. Watch to see if his teeth discolor. Nolan did something similar to this and his tooth discolored and he ended up needing a root canal.

Aaaahhhh, the joys of boys :)
