Tooth Drama

So sad drama of my life, Jax fell down some small steps in the perfect worst way and shuved his little, cute, perfect, front tooth all the way up into his jaw/gums. So far up in fact, that the doctor at the after hours clinic told us that it had been completely knocked out. And she said that there wouldn't be any tooth there until he got his permanent tooth at about 6 yrs old. I was crushed. But alas, the next morning there was this small whiteness in the gummybloodness, and then in the afternoon, a definite tooth! So it had been there all along, hiding! GROSS!! Poor kid. So needless to say we're going to the dentist tomorrow. I'm very interested to see how they (the dentist) are going to examine a crazy hyperactive 11 month old. He's not going to sit in a chair. We'll see what happens. We're crossing our fingers that it's not dead and wont have to be pulled...It looks pretty good to me. :) Anyway, other sad thing is: who thinks to get dental insurance for their 11 month old. Seriously. Gag.

Below are some pictures from the day after the accident. These pictures do not do justice to the hilarious monkey/who-ville(from the Grinch stole Christmas) boy face that he had. His upper lip/mouth was really swollen, he could barely smile. It was pretty cute and pretty hilarious. My dad was crying because he was laughing so hard at his face. :)

Ha Ha, I love this one, he didn't get it... :)

This is a new face that he does pretty often. Pretty cute.

On this one you can kind of tell that his upper lip is swollen.

From the side angle it is a little bit more obvious.

See here you can see his little tooth coming back from the grave.

Anyway, that's an update on our little drama Wed. night, poor kid. We love him. :)
