A Lost Tooth And A Black Eye

Merritt's dangling front tooth finally gave up the fight to stay in his mouth during breakfast yesterday. Who knew a waffle could pull out a tooth! I was a little concerned because this tooth became wiggly after smacking into Grant's head, and I was afraid that the new tooth wouldn't be ready to move into place. I was much reassured, however, to see the edges of his permanent tooth visible along the gum line. He won't be a red-neck yokel for too long! (Ha!) I think he looks darling with his new gap-toothed grin.

Speaking of smacking into stuff, Grace had a run-in with a shopping cart. In case you haven't guessed, the cart won.

Hey, careful with the red-neck yokel comments - some of us love our little red-neck's anyway! :)

Poor Grace. It's not as cool for a sweet little girl to have a black eye as it is for wild boys.

In the end the "toothless" can recieve a reward, but the winners of a "shiner" can only be sqeezed and loved. Hope she feels better! So fun you have a blog! I love the travel report, what a rewarding experience.
