First Bike Wreck!!!

We had our first bike wreck on Sunday night.  William has gotten so confident on his bike that he is a little speed racer.  He had his helmet, gloves and all his pads on but that did not protect him when he crashed into Harry and flew over his handle bars.  He landed on the only thing that wasn’t protected: his face!  Poor little guy.  He was bleeding pretty bad and even Scott heard him crying from inside that he came running out to see what happened.
 
He was a trooper and you can’t help but to laugh at Harry’s antics when he tells the story.  His story goes: “He crashed into me and then I said, “whoa, did you just see that flying dirt bike?!””  Luckily we had a dentist appointment the next morning for William to get a filling anyway.  She checked his teeth and he definitely loosened all four front teeth from the fall.  They took x-rays to watch to make sure he didn’t damage them and to watch for pimples on his gums or discoloring of his teeth to see if he damaged the nerves.  His x-rays did indicated that his bottom tooth will definitely come out soon making him a “mature 5 year old” because it isn’t supposed to fall out until 6 or 7.
 
I cannot say how proud of William I am because when I came home from Boot Camp last night, he was in the cul de sac riding his bike!!!  The fall did not stop him at all.  I am so glad.  Scott did decide that he is more over protective than he thought he would be and now wants to buy him a full faced helmet!  Ha.
