ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS . . .

. . . is my two front teeth back! Noah chipped both his front teeth this weekend. He has a smaller chip out of another tooth, so that is a total of three chipped teeth by two years old. Ugh!

Even earlier in the week, he was running to get around me, tripped over my foot and went head first into a door. He actually had a dent in his forehead. After some ice and arnica, he looked good as new.

Then yesterday, same thing - running to get around me, tripped over my foot and superman dove onto the floor face first. This time, he's not looking good as new, nor will he for the next three to five years or until those teeth fall out. So far he's not showing any discomfort, but we continue to monitor him.

I can only hope and pray that his permanent teeth will be more resilient, but if we look to uncle Adam, that's not looking too promising. Here's to finding a good dentist!

He's just like the rest of us! But hopefully he's not practicing for his permanent teeth!

Oh no! At least it happened on his "practice" teeth. What is arnica? Do I need it?

I wouldn't let him go down a slide head first. I learned my lesson with Adam!
