two weeks ago henry ran into the deck and got a black eye. last week he fell on the sidewalk while kicking his ball and hit his mouth so hard it bled (creating mass hysteria for his mom, a dramatic phone call to his dad, and all other unnecessary shenanigans). We did take him to the dentist--black hills pediatric dentistry--just to make sure everything was okay and he hadn't messed up his mouth for life. turns out, he will just have purple gums for a little while, but everything else looks okay....unless his teeth start to turn black or something, then we have to take him back asap. AND henry liked the dentist. he enjoyed playing with all the toys. the dentist was awesome and let henry touch and check out all his tools, and henry just reclined in my lap while he counted henry's teeth, got a good look at them, and even cleaned them. henry squirmed a little, and that was it. he is enjoying his stickers and free toothbrush--hooray!
but his mouth is going to be sore for a little while yet.....
so what do we do since he seems determined to get black and blue?
we go out and buy him a helmet...
...and a bike to go with it.
(because grampa Kel won an awesome scheel's gift certificate for the exact cost of a new strider bike :) yippee for grampa Kel!)
Henry, of course, loves it. he does that jiggly-wiggly-stomp-my-feet-and-wave-my-arms-i'm-so-excited dance that little kids do.
and for those of you new to the strider bike phenom: its a little toddler bike without pedals or training wheels and is supposed to help little ones learn to balance better. if you are interested just check out their schpeel on their website: www.stridersports.com
oh and i just found out that the guy who invented said toddler bikes is from rapid. double neato.
dad was only allowed to help for a little bit, then henry kept pushing his hands away with a polite "no no"
he suddenly looks so big...
*yawn* i can do this without my hands
rockstar!
but even big boys and rock stars fall down and need daddy's help sometimes
and he's off
hehe :)
when henry wakes up in the morning he says "bike" :)
