Well, we certainly weren't expecting the tooth fairy this soon!!! Maddie took a bit of a tumble (Mommy is kicking herself for leaving that laundry hamper out) and knocked one of her two bottom teeth loose. At first it seemed she was just fine and I picked her up and told her so. A few seconds later Kurt suggested that I "not freak out", but it appeared that Maddie had been cut (I guess the pool of blood on my shoulder was a clue). After a few seconds of panic (mostly me), we called the doctor's office. Our sweet little girl fell asleep on the drive in (it
was bedtime after all) and woke up to the doctor ripping her tooth out of her mouth. They said it was so loose that it might fall out and she'd aspirate on it (wasn't sure what that meant, but it sounded scary enough). After some hugs and kisses, she was right back to climbing on everything in sight.
Now that Maddie & Aidan are mobile and showing interest in walking, I guess we had better be prepared for more incidents like this. Of course let's hope she keeps the rest of her teeth...we aren't from Tennessee after all :)
Where was Aidan during this trauma you may ask...in the sink getting a tubby (bath)!
Maddie is apparently sensitive about her looks and wouldn't cooperate, so the best we could do was a picture of the offending tooth:
On a happier note, the babies are playing together so well these days. They often "share" toys and enjoy climbing on each other.
Excuse the lack of trousers:
Kurt is a very hands-on parent when it comes to playtime:
