Tooth Fairy has early visit at Lindsay house

**** This post is for my own journaling, and if reading sensitive materials makes you nauseous, please disregard this post. Thanks for understanding my motherly need to document this incident in order to prevent further accidents in our home. I plan to return to this post often and say: "See, remember that time you played too rough? That's why I asked you to stop." Ok. Disclaimer over. Read on if you want.****


Rough-housing on the couch + Ammon's head = no more front teeth for Zenock.

The collison of heads happened Sunday afternoon, about 20 minutes before Urgent Care closed. The boys were jumping and diving on the couch and Zenock's face came down on the top of Ammon's head. Zenock's mouth was bleeding, and then we saw his teeth hanging down much further than normal and pushed back. Brady took him in to Urgent care, and they just said take him to the dentist in the morning. But it looked so bad. We called around and found a dentist in Brady's Mom's ward who was home so Brady took him over there. He said Zz needed to be sedated so they could be pulled out. And they had to take x-rays to make sure there weren't any pieces of roots that broke off. So he had to wait until the pediatric dentist opened in the morning before anything could be done. I seriously can't believe that so much fun can turn into so much pain so fast. I felt so bad!!!
Monday morning Brady took him to the dentist. They origionally said he has to wait until Wednesday to get them pulled out...........can you imagine having teeth hanging down for 2 days and not being able to eat or drink well because of the obstruction? Yeah, me either. Thankfully there was a last minute cancellation while he was still at the office. After a routine cleaning the teeth were pulled out and he went home happy as ever. I don't have a before photo because it was too gross to look at. He doesn't understand that he can't have the crunchy/seedy food he loves for a few days. It's been hard for him to have a restricted diet. But he is doing so well, and he really does have the cutest lisp. I am very thankful that it was baby teeth and not permenant ones. The tooth fairy visited him about a year early.

Haha! Sorry, haha! I know it was not funny at the time, but neither was Drake riding his trike through 3 gallons of paint while I was sick with Chloe. But now you really have some ammunition when they rough house and you tell them to stop. Now they KNOW what happens when they don't. And now Zenock can sing "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth."
