The "Shiner" and "Chip" Show

Aron has gotten the nickname "Shiner" these days after receiving a doozy of a black eye. We were escaping a diaper change and jumping on the guest bed at Mimi and PapPap's house. We lost control and banged our head on the iron bed frame. Probably the most impressive bruise to-date, rivaling the one Aden got on his forehead awhile back. Not to be outdone, Aden promptly chipped his two front teeth the next night, earning him the nickname "Chip". Aden was jumping around in the bathtub while holding onto the soap dish. We lost control and knocked our teeth on it. Mommy was hysterical and took him to the pediatric dentist the next day. Not much to do about it. There's a chance they may darken, but he doesn't look so bad. The chipped teeth just sharpen his stuntman persona. It's getting a little embarassing taking them into daycare each Monday with new spectacular injuries. However we're told that given they spend so much time with them, plus the quantity of injury reports we get from daycare, the teachers are well aware of their rambunctiousness.
