Snaggletooth

Ok, when I said I wanted to blog again before I left, I didn't dream I would be blogging about this. We've found a pediatric dentist! And the reason we found one is that Timothy was being a little braver than usual last night in the bath tub and fell and hit his mouth on the side of the tub and chipped his tooth! It was pretty traumatic, he screamed for a few minutes and I grabbed him right away and got him out of there. Brandon kept saying he had chipped his tooth, but I didn't want to go feeling around in his mouth until he had calmed down some. So when it was all over and done with, we had a chipped tooth, a sad boy, and now today a pediatric dentist! He's actually been fine, he calmed down pretty quickly and took his bottle fine last night and slept through the night. I was worried he might wake up in pain, but he slept fine and he ate fine this morning, so we're all good now...I'm sure it was more stressful and traumatic for Brandon and I than for Timothy!

He was so cute at the dentist too, we had to wait forever, but thankfully they had plenty of toys and then when the dentist came to see us they didn't make me put him in a chair I just sat him on my lap and laid him back so the dentist could see in his mouth and he sat so still through the whole thing, he was really good. The dentist let him keep the mirror that he used to look in his mouth and he got a new toothbrush and a fishy bath toy and a certificate for having no cavities! I would have died if he had had a cavity already, but I guess that happens...I really liked the dentist too and the office staff were all really nice. They said it wasn't a bad chip and they wouldn't try to fix it since it's pretty small (it looks big to me, but whatever). And that everything else looked fine, no permanent damage! That's all we were asking for, so I'm definitely happy about that!

So for the rest of the day we're off to get a hair cut (for me, Timothy doesn't have much yet still) and then to play with Aunt Heather and Tyler's new puppy JJ and then to dinner and church! I think I'm doomed to never have a normal relaxing day off of work. In between dentist visits and getting everyone dressed and ready I've been trying to finish packing, but I'm sure I'll forget something...oh well, it's only a weekend trip, can't be too bad. I'll try to get some pictures of Timothy's "new smile" up soon and then pictures from his party when we get back from TX.
