Remember those family or school pictures where your missing your first front tooth? They usually made you look a little goofy, but hey, everyone has at least one picture like that right? Well i know this is one of those it really shouldn't matter things but for some reason to a mom it does. We were up the Canyon on Monday night having a little family BBQ and playing around a bit, and yep you guessed it, Ridge tripped holding a soccer ball and knocked out his almost brand new front tooth. And i mean all the way out, root and all. Poor kid was bleeding all over and didn't know what was happening. I was yelling at Willie to call the pediatrician to see if it could be saved. (He was smarter than me and called our friend who happens to be a pediatric dentist.) And well no it couldn't. Once the root is severed, it can't be fixed. I should be grateful that it was just a tooth, but man there is a part of me that can't stand the thought of every picture for the next 7 years (our kids loose their teeth pretty late) being one of those pictures. I guess i'll get used to it..... eventually. Thank goodness he is so dang cute!

OH man, that is awful! Poor Ridge. I wish they could do something about it to replace it.
