I know I didn’t put up a Crafting with David today but I have a very good excuse for it:
Remember when I said David had a bump on his gums that I was going to call the dentist about? Well I called and then went and it turns out his fuzed tooth is all infected cause of a crack in and they had to pull it. Ouch. They had to give my little boy a novocaine shot which was really painful and then they yanked the tooth right out, which was also very painful. But my little boy was super brave and really so amazing (As he always is.) and I’ve been working hard to pamper him since we got home. He got to have chocolate pudding and watch TV and relax as much as he wanted.
That’s gauze in his mouth which he had all day. He didn’t complain or whine one bit. And now he’s super excited about the tooth fairy (who is going to bring him a small little toy since we’re not into doing the money thing just yet.)
While David watched TV, Nathaniel tried to carry as many legos as he could at one time.
Here he is, trying not to drop them.
He really loves the legos. I love watching both my kids enjoy them so much. I’ve always been a huge fan of legos.
And Nathaniel’s really interested in books lately, too. Not in my reading them to him but exploring them by himself. You know that makes me happy, too.
And I’ll end with a little shot of the toothless boy. His bottom one is moving like crazy too and is bound to fall at any minute. Which will make taking portraits that much more challenging.
To be honest, those are my favorite shots. The ones with character. So I look forward to capturing them.
Since we ran to the dentist first thing this morning, and then went food shopping for david, most of our day went wonky. Naps were all over the place, Nathaniel is still lying in his bed, staring at the ceiling. I am wiped and wiped.
Note to Self:
Amazing how things work out sometimes. I am really sorry that we let David’s tooth be sick for over a week. I am glad he didn’t have pain but here’s an instant where I would have otherwise worried and taken care of immediately. Thankfully it didn’t have huge repercussions but it could have. It’s so hard to know when to take action immediately and when to sit and wait a bit.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that the dentist took us immediately and took care of David right away, thankful for dental care today.
2. I am grateful that my kids are so wonderful and Nathaniel behaved wonderfully the whole time we were at the dentist and made it easy for me to focus on David and hold his hand, etc.
3. I am thankful that I will get to go see Eclipse tomorrow!
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. lego magazine that he got in the mail.
2. daddy.
I probably asked you this before, and can’t remember if you answered, but have you taken the kids to Legoland?
What a brave boy. Going through all that and still a beautiful smile.
That was your intuition speaking when you decided to have the dentist check it out. It never hurts to listen to that voice. Yup, the “face” of David is changed forever. I wasn’t ready for the new look when Riley lost his first tooth, but I’ve gotten used to it. There seems to be a bit of a loss of innocence between the gaps and the new BIG teeth that come in. It’s all part of the process though. So much to love there.
i must say i am still not used to it….but i am learning to make the most of it. that’s what life is about after all. always changing and evolving.
