Baby Teeth

The past couple of days have been interesting around the Lewis house. In our 4 1/2 years of parenting so far we have been pretty lucky to not have to deal with any major emergencies with the kids. But on Wednesday this week Jordan changed that record. He somehow managed to fall on the floor face first and knock in two teeth. With me being at work when it happened, Mike was the one that dealt with most of the difficult stuff. I left work early to come home and then took him to urgent care to get checked out by a doctor. He was fine except for the teeth that were slanted inward pretty far. Thursday morning he visited the dentist and they told us that the teeth would need to come out. One was broken off of the root and the other was twisted and need to come out as well. Mike was the one who had to accompany Jordan to the appointment and help get everything taken care of. Jordan and Mike both did a great job and survived the ordeal! This type of thing generally falls under my job duties as the mom, but things at work prevented me from being able to take Jordan. I am so thankful that Jordan is ok, and he seems to be going on with life as if nothing ever happened. Kids are amazingly tough! I am just hoping that our little boy does not get in the habit of getting hurt.
