Another One Bites the Dust...

Leah has done it again. Our little daredevil unfortunately doesn't have the greatest sense of balance (something she inherited from me - Sorry Leah!). Today at the park she managed to collide with one of the rocking toys on the playground. Of course, since it's Spring Break here in Austin, Leah's dentist is on vacation and his on call partner is WAY out in Lakeline (far west Austin). Rather than driving out there with a screaming child in rush hour traffic, I took her to my wonderful dentist just to make sure no major damage had been done because I must say it looked pretty bad to me and there was an awful lot of blood.

I'll spare you the gory pictures, but the consensus was that she mostly banged the soft tissue above the tooth and cut her lip. We'll find out next week if any lasting damage was done - once the swelling goes down. So we may just have a toothless wonder for the next few years :) But kudos to my boys for being so good while we ran all over town to get her taken care of! It's those small things that can make all the difference.

Poor Leah! Only brilliant people knock out their teeth! Just be glad it's not a permanent one!! XO

Ohhh....Poor Leah...Phoenix has pulled a few tricks like that....with a lot of blood and a trip to the urgent care later, everyone was fine. Good Luck!!
