eventful.

We had quite an eventful Labor Day weekend. We were thrilled to be spending the long weekend at Nanie and Pop Pop's new house. They finally moved in and it is amazing and oh, so beautiful. It truly felt like we were on vacation. We pulled into town Friday evening. On Saturday, we spent the morning at the Lake Club, took a boat ride, and piddled around. That evening, we went to dinner at the Silver Moon. We did the same on Sunday, except our cousins came for the day! The littles had a blast together. 

We bounced around the idea of staying the night on Monday, but the decision was made when Brooks and I got in a minor accident on the WaveRunner while Ann Bennett napped. We went for a long ride around the lake and when we reached the dock, Brooks said he wanted to do some "tricks" for Daddy who was on the dock watching. We did some sharp turns and circles, stirring up waves. The next thing I know, we hit a wave and Brooks' mouth is bleeding. I knew instantly, we needed to go to the emergency room. His top right tooth was shoved back and sideways. And there was blood, lots of blood. I handed him off to John who loaded him up while I parked the WaveRunner, then I hopped in the car with them and we jetted off to the hospital. 

There wasn't anything that they could do, so we stayed the night and made an after hour trip to Dr. Lovell Tuesday evening. Did I mention that he got stung by a yellow jacket on his right eye a few days prior? Poor buddy…

The x-ray showed that all four top teeth were shoved back a bit. Three of the four were chipped. So, he ended up pulling the top two right then and there and advised us to keep an eye on the other two.

That night the Tooth Fairy paid Brooks a visit. He awoke with a whopping $10.00 under his pillow! He felt like big stuff. It's going to take Mommy a while to get used to his new sweet smile. I am definitely counting my blessings that he is okay...it could have been worse!

I am so very proud of my brave boy! He has the best attitude, always, and handled everything so well. And goodness he looks cute. Cheers to being toothless for the next two to three years!
