The Terrible Two-Tooth Tumble

July 6th, 2010. Clare was climbing head-first off our bed, and to get down on the floor, she brought her knees in and socked herself in the mouth with her knees. The bottom tooth was really loose and that got knocked totally out. The top tooth was just getting loose and was only knocked partially out. Toby was teaching night class (thankfully, or the sight of all the blood probably would've made him pass out, and then I would've really had my hands full), and I had no idea what to do. Is it a doctor issue? ER? I knew dentist offices were closed. After a call to a pediatrician friend, her own pediatrician, and her pedontist, the pedontist talked me through it and scheduled her for an emergency appointment first thing the next morning. The dentist had to end up pulling the top tooth. Clare was such a trooper through the whole thing! The toothfairy came twice in 2 days.

Actually, it's a secret, but Clare is training with the NHL. She'll go pro next year. :)

Using my toothfairy pillow that I had when I was little. Getting ready for visit #2 from the good ol' TF.
