Monkeys

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed,

one fell off and.....landed teeth first into the first monkey's head.



Jacob came flying into the room and could barely form the sentence "Marcus is bleeding!"



Apparently, as they were horsing around like boys do, Marucs fell and landed face first into the back of Jacob's head. When Marcus came in, all I could see was a mouth full of blood. It was EVERYWHERE. I scooped him up and ran to the kitchen. After getting a cold/wet washcloth, I tried to clean him up and access the damage. That's when I freaked out. One of his front teeth was pulled down quite a bit and tilted inwards. !!!! I scooped him up again and ran to the neighbors...who weren't home. So I called a good friend of mine who lives down the street and she promptly came over to help me. Thank goodness!!! After much cleaning and peering inside his mouth, we discovered that the tooth was sliding back into place...and both front teeth are extremely loose. Not enough to run to the emergency room--but enough to call the dentist in the morning.

Update to follow....

oh my gosh! i'm glad they are ok. grant did that - got hit in his mouth by a kid on a swing. his tooth was totally pushed back, it was no longer even with his other front tooth. it scared me, but after talking to people/dentists, it moved back into place. it did turn grey though, so now i'm sad one of his teeth is discolored. but he'll lose it eventually!
