another one bites the dust

noah hurt his teeth yesterday
really bad
he fell onto the lanolium face first
and bumped his two front teeth out of place
we took him to the ER
(second time in 8 days)
and they told us to go to the dentist today
so we did
and his tooth broke from the root
and both need to be removed
so we're leaving for Spokane in a couple minutes
so he can get them pulled
we're really sad
we wish this hadn't happened
he'll be toothless until his adult teeth grow in
which could be 3-7 years away
poor boy
he's handling things like a champ
we'll need to buy him lots of soft foods
maybe a new movie
and give him lots of love

I'm so sorry ! It's a little walk down memory lane from our childhood - both you and Ryan had teeth problems. And look at your smiles now.

I feel your pain. Parker feel at the pool in late May and broke both his two front teeth. They were permanent. The dentist was able to save one, but the other broke to the root and had to be removed. I cried...a lot. He'll be missing his top front tooth for about 6 years or so until he's done growing. Then he'll need an implant. I hope everything goes ok for Noah.

Poor Noah! Good thing he's so cute, he'll totally be able to pull off the toothless grin.

Like Mother like Son huh? Wasn't there something about the rope swing you and Ben were playing on and you hurt your teeth? This is so sad for little Noah. I hope he's feeling better now! XOXO
