You should see the other guy!

So we decided to enroll Andrew in a preschooler fight club.....




OK, really he had two unfortunate events that unfortunately happened on the same day causing him to look like the world's youngest boxer (the pictures don't do justice). Friday morning, he was bothering Eden a little too much and she pushed him away. His face ran into the bed post of his bed. It didn't look that bad, I wasn't too worried about it because he hits his head all the time, but yesterday the bruise at spread into his eye. Still, that wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for Friday afternoon...
Eden and Andrew were playing some kind of peek-a-boo sort of game on the couch. Eden was on the couch and Andrew was standing on a kitchen chair behind the couch (this couch is not against a wall). Somehow Andrew lost his balance, tipping over on the chair, and smacking his mouth (I think on the back of the chair). His front left tooth was pushed up and back into his gum and the tooth next to it was completely knocked out. (It's kind of hard to tell in the pictures because he couldn't smile really big with his upper lip all swollen. We talked to a few dentists (thanks Bren!) and will be taking him to see a pediatric dentist tomorrow to have it x-rayed.
We put the knocked-out tooth in milk, but found out that baby teeth aren't put back in. The other tooth we'll probably just have to wait and hope it moves back into place. So, he'll just have a gap for a few years. At his last appointment, the dentist told us he has a crossbite that we'll have to take care of when he gets older, so I don't think this is going to add any more work or $$ to his future dental/orthodontic care. For now, he gets to eat whatever he wants.

Oh man Andrew! That's some swelling on that cute face! I hope things go well at the dentist today. That's rough, I guess it was good that it happened while he still had his baby teeth!

By the time he was Andrew's age, Scott had been seen in (I think) 4 different Emergency Wards in California. I could list them and the reasons but I'll let it rest.

We have been there! Everett jammed one of his teeth up in his mouth. It has come back down, but now has a grayish tint to it. I love little boys... always getting injured. Gotta love 'em!
