Here's the pictures of Toby's tooth emergency. (When we called it that he started worrying that an ambulance and fire truck were going to come to our house, which is what happens in an emergency.) On the left is the "before" and on the right is the "after."
I told a friend here what happened on Monday and she said "Thank God you're from dentists!" or something like that. We are so thankful! Our aunt Judy took x-rays of the tooth and found two vertical fractures in it. No chance of saving the tooth. So she referred us to a great pediatric dentist who took the tooth out on Thursday. Toby did a great job!
Ironically, this is the same day that Norah's first tooth emerged. She's now getting her second bottom tooth. Thursday was also the day she started crawling, thanks to Lincoln's example in Florida.
It's taken us a while to get used to the idea of Toby without a front tooth for the next few years. He likes showing it off, which is good. I think he should be a hockey player for Halloween. Alas, no luck finding a jersey. We had very poor luck finding any ghost costume for Toby. Who knew? So he's going trick-or-treating as Thomas the Train. Toot toot!
On a random note....
I've had a lot of fun reading a few historical fiction novels about Queen Elizabeth I. I just spent the last two nights (after the kids were in bed) watching PBS's Masterpiece Theater version on The Virgin Queen. It was really good. Now I want to see the movie The Queen, about England's current queen. So fascinating!
