I suppose it was bound to happen.

We have some swings downstairs. The kids love them, and we insist that they don't go down unless there is an adult with them. The cement floor is unforgiving. Brylee and Jennika sneaked down there when no one was looking, and sure enough, soon we heard blood-curdling screaming! Preston ran down and brought up a bloody, screaming Brylee! She had not fallen off a swing, but tripped on something and hit the floor with her four front top teeth! All four teeth were bloody and pushed way back in her mouth! We immediately gave her some ibuprofen and a cold washrag, and before long she was running around like nothing happened!

What a little trooper! She wasn't able to eat and could barely drink, but she kept smiling!

Such a brave little princess!

OWIE!

Her lip and gums have since healed nicely, and her teeth settled back into the bone. Only one tooth is going dark. Those four teeth previously stuck out quite a bit. Now, they're at the correct angle, and nice and straight. Now we joke that it was just Bateman-style red-neck orthodontia!
