Okay, so if you know Jack, really know Jack - you know he is all boy! I wasn't hip to all this rough stuff until I become a Mom to a little boy. I was so happy in my world of pink girly stuff like dolls, purses, excessive shoes. You get the picture! Then came Jackson and he rocked my world. He was so easy going and SUCH a good sleeper (don't be jealous!) Skip ahead 2 years and we have ourselves one very crazy and wild toddler. He has absolutely no fear and no “slow” switch and it’s a very dangerous combination.
Last Tuesday night our neighborhood had a “National Night Out” Celebration at the church up the street. Complete with a hot dog dinner (the boys favorite), a bounce house, face painting, balloon animals, games, music. You get the picture. So we sit down to eat dinner and Jack comes full speed ahead. Running to Daddy but mostly to his hot dog. Instead of stopping he bit the picnic table face first. Not just an ordinary picnic table but a stone one - ouch! Blood starts oozing out of, well, everywhere. After about 10 minutes of cleaning off the blood from his mouth and the nose bleed we realize that he’s still got his teeth but one of them is a little smaller than it was before. He slit one of his top, front teeth from top to bottom. Now that little incident didn’t stop him. He got up and was playing again about 10 minutes later. He even managed to pinch and push an 8 year old boy who told Eddie that Jack did it just because he looked at him. What in the world? He is way bigger than Jack - is he crazy?
The dentist says that the biggest part of the tooth is fine but the sliver that he split will either fall out or have to be removed in 2 weeks. Here’s to hoping it falls out before the next appointment Because I certainly don’t look forward to that appointment! Did I mention that he is very strong?
So, the moral of the story is that Jack is indeed a rough, tough toddler and is ALL BOY!!! Lord help me...
