Today is a Good News / Bad News post.
The Good News: Kylie finally learned how to ride her bike this week! (Here’s a video from 3 days ago)
The Bad News: Kylie was riding this afternoon and took a pretty bad spill. She landed face-first on the road and came out of it a little dinged up.
The Final Tally: Lost Teeth – 2 , Stitches in Lip – 2.
(thankfully they were still baby teeth!)
She’s doing fine now and in good spirits. I think she’s actually excited about losing two teeth in one shot. I was at work when it happened, so Erica had to fly solo on the first family trip to the Emergency Room. Nothing worse than not being able to help your kid. But it could have been a lot worse, so we’re thankful for that.
Just another crazy day in life. Anything crazy happen to you today?
Oh my goodness!!! Poor Kylie.
I better not show this to Isaac or he’ll never get back on his bike again! (We tried to teach him this summer and he did it by himself, but every time he realized no one was holding onto the seat he fell and freaked out.) Hope she has a speedy recovery.
Oh my. What a sweet spill.
As a former inline speed skater turned road biker, I’ve had my share of impressive spills…the hard part is getting back up. Been tempted not to–but I always did, and I’m glad. It made me tough. Kinda like the writing world, huh? Get knocked down….get back up (but at least it’s minus the stitches and doctor bills, right?)
Oh No! I feel her pain. I am SOOOOO glad that she is OK. At least she won’t have to have Grammy pull out a few baby teeth. Have Kylie ask her about that with all the details.
yeah, it could have been a lot worse. we are thankful it wasn’t.
she hasn’t gotten back on te bike yet, but mostly because of rain.
