Well, I always wondered if it would happen to my boy. He falls everyday, sometimes hard, but most of the time it is no big deal. Today, he fell and chipped a tooth! I felt so bad for poor Bobby! He cried pretty hard for a few minutes, but he calmed down when I let him play with my cup of ice water. I'm not too concerned because it is a baby tooth, but I will keep an eye on it, just in case he has nerve damage. I'm not sure how hard he hit himself, but sometimes with tooth trauma the nerve can die and the tooth will change color. Hopefully that won't happen!
I tried to get some shots of his tooth while he was eating. Sorry for the messy face! He had just eaten some sweet potatoes, and was munching on an apple. :)
He's such a trooper!

I had not even thought to worry about Ethan chipping a tooth with all his face first falling!! Poor Bobby! Thankfully his mom knows what to look for! I'm taking Ethan to his first pediatric dentist appointment soon - I'm super excited!
ah the fun of being a baby. Sydney and Kinsey have put me through the ringer with all their dental trauma! Glad he's a tough guy!
Gregory has a chipped front tooth too! Boys... I tell ya! ;)
