We heard screaming, ran in, and found Joey clutching his mouth... apparently on a downward bounce, he and his teeth collided with the rail of Clara's crib, leaving this momento for posterity:
Although there wasn't any blood, and the teeth (the two just to the right of his upper front teeth) aren't loose, we still had to place a sheepish call to the dentist on Thursday morning when he refused to chew on that side of his mouth (and whimpered in pain!). Apparently, we'll know within 2 weeks whether the teeth died due to the impact -- they'll start to turn grey and could fall out.
Here's hoping that the Tooth Fairy doesn't make her first visit for several more years... we'd like to keep this smile intact!!

I guess it's time to learn "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" Poor Joey! Hang in there teeth!
oh, and SF Gate is hosting a Bowl Cut Challenge - I think you should submit that picture! Most of the entries are retro; you may get bonus points for rockin the bowl cut in the new millennium. They're trying to sell papers, so I know there are bonus points if you can get him reading the Chronicle sporting that bowl cut.

Update -- his teeth are feeling much better a few days later!
