Oh Tanner....

Tanner had yet another accident today. He was running through the house (which I constantly tell the kids not to do) and he tripped and fell face first into an old computer monitor that was sitting on the floor in our bedroom. I was within arm's length of him and I heard a loud snap and then saw blood pouring from his mouth. His front tooth was still attached but pushed back and he was screaming. I rushed him to the dentist, who is only 1 mile away, and after x-rays we found that the root was too badly damaged so they would have to pull the tooth. Once again he was soooo brave throughout the entire process. Even the dentist couldn't believe how well he did. As soon as he saw Brad the first thing he said was "tooth fairy". He's pretty excited that the tooth fairy will come tonight and give him something for his tooth. He doesn't seem too upset by the loss of his tooth but Brad and I are heartbroken. He had such an amazing smile before this. Now he will just have to look like a little white trash kid until his permanent tooth comes in. Oh well, this too shall pass....I love you buddy!
