What a Day!!!

Lets start at the beginning of our Etue Saturday!  2-25-2012.... Lexi has had a fever and threw up once last night.  I have had a cold that has now got the best of me.  Lexi and I have been laying around all day trying to get well.  Addy and Derek have been working on our basement bathroom.  Maybe after four years in the making I will have a working toilet.  We have had a toilet set for over a year, but no plumbing going to it!  Tyler has been,, well,,, trouble...!!  He had a few minor incidences during the morning hours,, I was in the kitchen and heard a scream, only to find him under the vacuum cleaner.  He managed to get in the closet and then pull the vacuum on top of him.  Not minutes later he was diving for the video door that was open and took a header into the cabinet.  Then the big one.... I was talking on the phone while the kids were playing in the girls room... or so I thought.... I heard Tyler cry and didn't think much of it.  Then Lexi came running "Tyler is bleeding".  As I went to him all I could think of was, please not the upper lip!  Addy was on the toilet and Tyler was sitting by the shower with blood on his mouth.  Obviously, she went in to use the bathroom and little trouble maker followed.  He is obcessed with the shower and tubs so this was no shock to me.  I assume he was trying to stand up against the shower ledge that has a strip of metal for the shower door.  Anyhow... his top front tooth was out of place in into his piece of extra skin under his top lip.  I pushed it back in line and back into its socket.  I then called our pediatric dentist of which Tyler isn't even a patient yet, but his sisters are.  They met up at their office and the husband/wife team (both are dentists at the same practice) checked him out.  They gave us the option of trying to save the tooth cause it was back in the right spot.  But there could have been nerve damage or such as the tooth would not make it, risking infection.  His next surgery will be directly behind this area and we opted to not compromise any further bone grafting sites or infection all for a baby tooth.  So Tyler got his first shot of numbing medicine and dr greenwood took the tooth out with one pull.  I am still in shock that Tyler has lost a tooth!!!  To end our day,,, we came home, ate dinner, and proceeded to give the kids a bath.  It wasn't an hour later, with blood still remaining of the shower ledge that we caught him doing the same act.  Really Tyler,, have you learned nothing???!!!  So Tyler started this day with five teeth,, and ended with four..... what a day!!!!  I feel like I have said this 100 times,, but I will say it again,,, the day this kid goes to college I am leaving on a really long vacation!
