bumps, bruises - oh yah, did i mention a chipped tooth?

so, this is the way ezra tells the story:

"mommy, i jumpin'. i jumpin' on the couch! i hit it. i hit toby. umm. toby. chip TOOTH!"

yep, the pic and ezra tell all. this past tuesday was certainly eventful as ezra did INDEED chip his front central tooth (this, of course, is on the heels of me giving myself a concussion in pier 1 while shopping no less than a week before - yah, that's another post for another day.) poor little fella. if you have seen our previous post of ezra jumping on the couch, all you need to do is insert toby, the brown "square" choo choo from thomas & friends, in ezra's hand and imagine ezra's mouth bouncing off this wooden toy as the pair crashed and burned on our love seat.

the night only got better after the chipped tooth. yep, my razor fell out of the basket hanging from our shower head, and in a stealth like nearly two year old move, he managed to slice his finger open and cut the side of his belly (a good couple of inches) in matter of seconds.

wednesday could only be better right? well, unfortunately, ezra's chipped tooth was chafing his lip (or stripping away his flesh as eric liked to describe it), so this warranted ezra's first trip to the dentist thursday. despite a nearly hour and a half wait in the waiting room because they had to "work us in," ezra was in HOG HEAVEN because the office had the trendiest little train table in the waiting room which ironically eric and i had been drooling over just the night before on the internet, considering whether we should get one for our little man. ezra was a great first little patient, total trooper, although a little scared when the doc whipped out the noisy tools to shave his tooth down. he stopped crying the second the doc turned them off and popped out of my lap and asked to play choo choo in the waiting room! :) and for those of you wondering, his tooth will be like this til he loses it! the dentists - including good ol' g'ampa - say that trying to fix it isn't worth it because little boys are so active at this age, etc.

thinking one medical issue was solved, we all headed to family dinner quite relieved, only for ezra to trip and fall while he was running around the cafeteria, he tripped and face planted on the concrete lip of a brick wall on the ramp by my old office in collins. with a bleeding mouth and forehead, a golf ball sized blue and green goose egg erupted on his forehead instantly (which you can see a bit in the photo above). poor guy! he just could not catch a break this week!

rough and tumble two seems to be barrelling down the tracks!
