Yes-This all really hapened today!!

So, I had just finished brushing Lani's teeth this morning when I realized the bathroom door wouldn't close, and I heard Dax screaming. Dax had put his little fingers in the crack in the door and I closed the door on them. No major damage, he cried for a few seconds, then he was over it. Jarod then took Lani and Dax down stairs, and I finished getting ready. All of a sudden I hear Dax screaming and crying! I go down stairs and Dax had fallen, hit the bottom step and his lip was bleeding. We were not sure if his teeth went through the gum, or if he cut his chin when he fell. It actually wasn't too bloody. Jarod panicked...which was very strange, he's usually very calm in these types of situations. Well, we didn't feel it was bad enough for the ER, but his doctor's office didn't open until 12:30. What were we going to do? Well, we decided to go to church, and get the opinion of a nurse who previously worked at our doctor's office. Dax let her look all in his mouth and even check to see if any of his teeth were loose. Well, she said that the teeth did go completely through his lip, but the outside was not bad enough to require any stitches. She recommended that I call the doctor's office on Monday to see if they would call in an antibiotic, since the wound was so deep. One more thing about the morning....We were getting out of the car at church and realized we didn't have a diaper bag. I couldn't imagine how the rest of the day was going to be, since the first hour of it was so bad. Well, this afternoon we went to the Pendleton Christmas Parade. Lani and Dax loves parades and had a lot of fun. The pic below is in front of the tree - we take a pic here every year. Last year, it was very hot...Jarod had on a short sleeve shirt, none of us had on a coat; however, this year it was FREEZING!!!

Love the picture! Poor Dax. He is such a trooper. When I saw him at church you would never know that he had such a traumatic morning.
