Ouch!

I have no pictures for this, but even if I did they wouldn't be something great to look at. Since we just moved in to our new apartment on Monday, my father-in-law offered to watch the boys ALL morning for us so we could get a little more settled in. Our living room seriously looked like something from that Hoarders show. So ridiculous. Anywho, the kids are with grandpa and playin' outside when Nick trips and totally biffs it.

He whacked his two front teeth pretty good and his surrounding gums started bleeding. His awesome grandpa cleaned him up and fed him ice cream (grandparents have a way cooler job). Later in the afternoon when we had them all back, Nick kept crying while trying to chew his lunch. We looked at his gums and they were still bleeding a little and totally purple and nasty looking.

We haven't taken any of the kids to the dentist yet. (Parenting fail?) So we found one just down the street a little and took him in. They took some x-rays (having never seen mouth x-rays from a 3 year old I was blown away by seeing two sets of teeth in one mouth SO WEIRD) and then counted his teeth (he HATED that) and then the dentist told me his teeth were fine. OH but by the way those other 2 front teeth on the bottom that have always slanted in...those are totally effing his face up and have to come out.

Yeah no joke I have to have my 3 year olds teeth pulled out! WHAT!? Oh and he may not have any new teeth there for another 2-3 years! That and unpacking have been my day...and I'm flippin' tired.
