She just couldn't catch a break.

Gracey had quite the dramatic week last week. First, she and corky were wrestling in the front room one evening and somehow she had a run-in with the table. Here are pictures of the night of, and the next morning. You can see it wasn't a tiny little bump, but this is one tough girl. She makes her daddy proud.

As if the head bump wasn't bad enough, Gracey looses her footing at the playground. Gracey is the most coordinated 3 year old I have ever known, but she simply missed a step and ate a stair. Nearly knocking out her 2 front teeth and cutting her lip pretty badly. She freaked out from all the blood and I luckily before it started gushing out of her mouth too badly, I was able to put one of her front teeth back in its place. (gross, right?!) We ran across the street to my friends house where we were able to clean up a bit before heading our way to the E.R. There wasn't anything that could be done for her lip since it was all cut on the inside but they were concerned about her teeth. One of our closest friends and a member of our branch is a dentist so I told them that I would just take care of it, rather than waiting in the ER any longer. Our friend hooked us up with xrays and determined that she would be okay as soon as her loose teeth tightened back up.

The poor girl had a fat lip that pictures don't do justice for. The next morning she went to school like normal but I was scared that her teachers were going to think we were beating her. The bruise on the forehead and the fat lip are pretty suspicious looking. About 15 minutes after her school started, I got a phone call and was SURE that it was the school, or the police, or the social services, contacting us for questioning! Luckily it was our dentist friend, seeing how Gracey was doing.

Gracey is pretty much all healed up now. Her bruises are looking good. Her teeth are loose still and one of them is slightly darker, but we were told it would lighten up. They will probably remain slightly crooked but there isn't much we can do about that at this point and it really isn't too noticeable. We still think she is cute! :)
