skinned knees and a chipped tooth

This weekend was so nice - sunny and warm. We played outside most of the weekend and Alex got his first set of official skinned knees. It was warm and we decided to pull out the shorts for him (since he's so cute in shorts!) and then not much later he fell on the concrete and got some little skinned knees. We cleaned them up and put bandaids on them. They were much better after that. It was worth the cuteness of the shorts - for sure!

Now - what about the chipped tooth - you ask?

Well - somewhere between 12 and 13 months our little daredevil chipped his tooth. We have no idea when it happened - here or at daycare. But it's definately chipped. It's his left front top tooth - a chip right along the bottom. So it is a little shorter than the right one. It obviously doesn't hurt him - but I have serious urge to go to a dentist to have them fix it. I have no idea if they would laugh at me or not. Maybe I'll call and just see what they say... It's just that he'll have this tooth for probably another 4 years! All that time with a chip?

This has spawned new nicknames: Alex "Evil (as in Knievel) Danger Crazy Daredevil" Torgesen.

We wonder what it might have been like to have been the parents of Evil Knievel...
