Something Missing?

You may have noticed some missing teeth on Big Boy in previous posts.  His top front teeth had been loose for a long time.  One night the boys were 'in bed' and suddenly we heard an earsplitting scream come from their room.  Big Boy and Cheeks had collided and this was the result:

One tooth was knocked right out and the other was hanging by a thread.  We tried to pull it out, but it just wasn't coming.  So, for one night his mouth looked like those hillbilly teeth you wear for Halloween:

The next morning we tried the floss method, where you tie a knot around the tooth and pull it tight really fast, it worked like a charm.  So, he only went to school with two fat lips.  He was thrilled to be able to put his name on the tooth chart at school.  Way to look on the bright side!!

Thanks to Emily and Steve for their dental assistance over the phone!
