So I never thought I would do this!

Okay ladies and gents! Remember hearing Heidi and Ben say that Aidan could have his binky til he's 30?!?!? Well we had to take it away last night. Let me share our experience!
We went over to the PX to pay for our layaway and Ben needed eye drops! Aidan was running by the baby stuff (with a binky in his mouth OF COURSE! He doesn't go ANYWHERE without it!) Well he just so happened to trip and fall! His nice little teeth got TORE up! Aidan ended up biting the binky off (nipple part) but luckily didn't swollow it! We are REALLY lucky he didn't swollow it cause if he had he would have most likely choked and died. There was blood everywhere and I kept telling myself. I know the mouth bleeds more so I was doing my best to keep calm. Then Ben and I opened his mouth to look and when we did we headed to the ER. Aidan had flaps of skin that were loose from his binky cutting them. You know the extra skin that holds the lip to the gums well Aidan has always had extra and he ripped that all the way up! He was in a lot of pain. Everything was fine we just wanted to make sure his tooth wasn't going to fall out! Poor kid and his teeth. Like a wonderful dentist in our ward says "its a good thing he has trial teeth!" Little Aidan was a trooper! He went to bed without fussing. We just told him the binky hurt him. I know this blog is a little scattered but the main reason we are done is like I said before if Aidan were to have swallowed that nipple part he most likely wouldn't be here with us today! We took that as a sign to be done! I'm not even sure if my little Kennedy will get one! We'll see! Anyway Aidan came in at 5 and asked for his binky and we just told him we don't use it anymore and put him back to bed with some meds for the pain and he did fine. His face is bruised from where the binky hit on his cheek and mouth but he's our tough boy and will make it through. His mouth is already started to scab but he's been really fussy that it hurts. We are just suppose to keep some good meds in him to take the pain away! Anyway so that is our story of how we got rid of it! Glad he's a strong boy!

Aidan: YOu poor baby. What a way to get finished with a binkie. Ihope your face isn't too sore. Try not to hit it again. YOu are too cute to have bruises like that. Love Nali (Gwyn)

Oh sad!!! But what a way to get rid of a binkie. I hope he get better soon, that would be so scary. I would not have been so calm. Any how keep us posted and tell him that we love him and hope that he gets better really soon.
Love you guys
