Score: 1-0 Little Brother

I thought we were having the best morning, everyone was up & ready to go this morning & it was 7am. One last trip through the house to grab dirty clothes from the bedrooms and move them to the washing machine. The 2 kids were ready and waiting by the front door at the couch in front of the window. I passed them with an armful of clothes & K started screaming - "Bubs punched me!" I saw that her mouth was bleeding & ran the clothes outside, grabbed a papertowel & ran back to her. She had already lost 1 tooth & the one next to it has been loose. Strangely enough, the tooth was now twisted completely around. It was ready to come out, but the pain to her was unbearable. I tried to pull it, but she barely let me touch it. I couldn't even get it to turn back around so it sat normally in her mouth. It was sticking straight forward and I wasn't sure what to do with her. She told me to take her to the dentist but I told her there's nothing he can do but pull it out. (Luckily we do have an appointment for the kids this Thursday!) That scared her & so she screamed & cried more. I couldn't seem to calm her down. How was she supposed to sit through school like this? The tooth was almost ready to come out - Bubs just seemed to help it along a little sooner than expected.

I managed to find out that Bubs was playing with something on the couch & K was bothering his stuff. So he felt the need to make her stop & hit her in the face. Lovely. He looked upset that he caused her to bleed & said sorry to her "after I asked him to." We'll have to have a talk tonight! Unfortunately, I focused on K all morning.

I gave her water & that soothed her mouth. I also gave her a small snack bag, so if she lost the tooth at school, she had something to put it in. We took Bubs to school first & to give her times to calm down. By the time we got to her school she was better but wouldn't eat anything. I convince her to eat her raisins. Throw them in the back of her mouth to use her back teeth to eat. I also let the teachers know why she may seem upset. Its 3pm now & I haven't heard from school. I guess she's OK now. I wonder if she'll have a tooth for the tooth fairy tonight or not... Poor thing.
