Yes, I know he looks quite similar to Carter, but we are changing his name to Chip. Notice the bottom teeth :(Just last night he chipped these two permanent teeth for the 2nd time ~ yes you read that right! THE 2nd TIME!
Sigh.
Let's see, the first chipped tooth came a little over a year ago at a friend's house. Four of them were playing tag and Carter oh so gracefully ran into a friend's elbow. You just have to love when they bring him home to you with the other part of his tooth in a baggie!
Chip number two followed less than 6 months after the first one. Austin and Carter were playing Madden 11 on the Wii. Carter scored a touchdown and was jumping up and down celebrating and somehow ~ I still can't figure out how ~ his chin came down on top of Austin's head.
At least each of those only involved ONE tooth each time. This time, it's TWO!!! Apparently a basketball to the mouth will do that to a person. Carter and his friend were playing basketball outside having a hey day until the dreaded incident. I knew something bad had happened because I could hear the wailing from inside the house.
After the second time, I made sure our amazing dentist was put into my cell phone for such an emergency. The first time I interrupted tomato canning, the second time dinner out, and this time supervising Cub Scouts serving food at Food for First. Let's just say, Dr. Craig and Dr. Debbie Grandgenett are pretty amazing people and never ever make us feel bad for needing after hour care! They still speak to us even when they see us out in public :)
I guess a new mouth guard will appear in "Chip's" stocking this year!
