ouch

boys will be boys. last week, abe was jumping out of a tree at a friend's house, when he landed right on his mouth. blood came gushing out from his lips and teeth (my friend lynnae and i almost fainted/threw up from all the blood). his front top tooth was all wiggly and he kept trying to pull it out.

so the next day we took him to the dentist to see if they could save the tooth...i'm thinking a huge, radical expensive surgery, people. umm, no. nothing. the human body miraculously fixes itself. although half of his roots are severed on the TWO front top teeth, they should still hang in there...until the next time he lands on his face. let's hope that's closer to age seven than four.


a picture of abe's lip the day after. all cut up and swollen. he couldn't eat anything because it was so tender, so he lived off of shakes, and straws in yogurt drinks. poor kid is in heaven with that for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.


and abe's bloody tooth. let's hope it doesn't fall out, because abe has the biggest, best, happiest smile, and i like it with a full set of teeth, thank you.
