NOOOOOOO....




I knew Lincoln was going to get hurt because of how much he loves to climb and how fearless he is but I thought we would end up with a broken arm, collar bone, etc. Well nope he completely knocked his front tooth out while climbing on a playground at Kaden's soccer practice.
The Story: I was sitting on the grass with Kennedy talking to my sister while Lincoln and Tyler played on the playground I looked over and saw him fall on some fake rock stairs, I also noticed a white thing fall to the ground. Then the crying started I ran over picked him up and carried him over by the car to get some wipes to clean up the blood. Well after examining his face and remembering the white thing I saw fall I looked in his mouth and sure enough the tooth was gone. I ran over to the playground got the tooth, (which was all in one piece) asked Amanda to keep my kids and I was in the car, on my way to the dentist, determined to save the tooth. I drove to the closest dentist office...they were closed. I called my dentist Dr. Holt. He was still at his office, YES, then the conversation preceded. Me, "Josh, Lincoln knocked his front tooth out of his mouth I am on my way can you re-implant it?" Dr. Holt, " Alisa you do not re-implant baby teeth, if it was a permanent tooth we would." "NO that is not what I want to hear can you do an implant or anything?"  "No we can't... bring him in I will check his other teeth" "Okay"   I was ticked I did not want my cute little boy to go without a tooth for 6 + years are you kidding me. The family pictures are going to look funny, I did not want a funny looking kid. Totally vain I know. We got to the docs office, his other teeth were fine, he didn't even have a fat lip. The dentist gave him a cute container to put his tooth in and we were on our way.  This happened October 2, 2012. Since a few weeks have gone I have gotten use to my hill billy boy and think he still looks pretty darn cute :)
