The back story: Well, a few weeks ago Wesley wanted to wear a shirt of his daddy's. So when he got out of the bath, I put him into one of Justin's shirts (this is a ritual both kids have enjoyed before so I didn't think anything of it).This time I failed to notice that the shirt I picked was a tad too large for Wesley and before I could chase him down to take it off of him, he was running full speed through the house (tile floor, metal door stop....you probably are getting a visual of what happened next). The next thing I know he's face down on the floor and crying. Kate explains what happened like the good big sister she is. It took a few days to tell the impact..we had to wait for the swelling to go down. The result was two loose front teeth. The right tooth was pushed to the side so now Wesley looks like Michael Strahan...yes...we have our own little Michael Strahan (and for those not as fascinated with football as us...Michael Strahan is a former NY Giant (boo!)defensive player and now NFL analyst). He was a great football player but even more famous or his gapped teeth......
The outcome: Wesley's dentist took Xrays and said that no teeth were broken and that the tooth should stabilize in the coming months (not be loose anymore). He did have two small tissue pockets that the dentist removed so that it relieved some pressure on his gums and teeth. He didn't want to eat for a few days (and this is NOT typical of Wesley). One of the front teeth does appear like it is starting to grey but the dentist said that there is no point in pulling it since it will fall out in a few years anyway. The cool part was seeing an Xray of his 'big boy' teeth coming in above these. It will be oh too soon when I'm blogging about the tooth fairy I'm sure :)
