So today was the day. Something told me to stay at home this morning. Maybe it was that Wyatt just wanted to chill out and I was pretty beat.I had made a commitment to go to a baby shower this morning and I should keep that. I figured that taking the kids to our mommy and me playdate would be a perfect way to wear them out so I could get some much needed laundry done afterward.
We got there and Wyatt just wasn't himself. He didn't want to play, said his neck hurt. He probably kinked it sleeping in the gameroom, a treat he gets when his behavior has been great. Abby was having a great time playing with many of her friends. We even met a new friend today, and her very cute puppy who was the hit of the playdate.
So I decided that at noon we would leave so I could get home and do the afore mentioned laundry and be there before the painter was coming over. I started to round up the children and abby came over to where I was seated, she tripped and fell into the concrete "seat". It is a seat made of concrete about 2 ft off the ground where we can sit to watch the kids while they play. she cried of course, but as I looked at her further she broke her two front teeth. One is broken kinda vertically so it is pretty sharp. The other was a more smooth break horizontally across the other tooth.
Well we rushed to the dentist, and he said she was too traumitized to do anything just yet. He said his grandson did the same thing recently, and his recommendation was to let it be for a few weeks. I trust this guy, after all he has been my dentist since I was six and my mom' since before that. We'll see a children dentist he recommended after a few weeks to see if they can at least file them down.
Strangely, I can't believe how incredibly calm I was through the whole ordeal. God works in ways we never see or expect. How thankful I am that Abby wasn't hurt worse, and even more how this complete calm came over me to be able to help that crying little toddler.
** I guess I never published this. It happened about 3 weeks ago. Go figure!
