There's a new Snaggletooth in town

For those of you who don't know, my nickname as a baby was Snaggletooth. This is because my first tooth was one of my top front teeth and it was the only one for awhile.

Well yesterday Logan had an accident. He is really starting to walk now and unfortunately missed the chair with his hands and got it with his mouth. He knocked out one of his front teeth...root and all. So I called the pediatrician on call and talked to a nurse at a dentist's office and basically he won't have a front tooth until he gets his adult teeth. We have to watch the other front tooth and make sure it doesn't change color and also watch for infection and swelling. He is doing just fine and is eating and playing and walking. Here is a picture of his new smile and the marks in the chair where his teeth hit...yes, that's how hard he hit the chair.

Oh dear! Well, thank goodness for adult teeth! And Logan still looks so cute with that huge grin! Little kids are missing teeth all the time, his friends will just think he was lucky and lost his early! We had a near miss on this with Zach when he was three, but it wasn't knocked clean out and the dentist was able to pull it back into place.

Ty told us about that! I'm glad to hear that he is okay and happy, even though the tooth is gone.
