Elsie now has a beautiful, big chip out of her front tooth! Her older brother kindly tackled her yesterday on the laminate flooring (he felt horrible). She cried a bit and her bottom lip was bleeding, but she seemed to be okay. When I got her up from nap a couple of hours later I discovered the missing chip. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry, but at least it's just her baby tooth and not her permanent tooth! I took her in for an emergency dental appt. this morning and she got a referral for a pediatric dentist.
I searched the floor for the missing chip but wasn't able to find it, and figured she'd swallowed it during nap. Later on that evening I was changing into my pj's and discovered the missing tooth chip.....in my bra! Apparently when I held her to comfort her it fell down my shirt and settled in for the evening :) They might be able to glue the chip back on, so I'll take it to the next dental appt. If they aren't able to do anything, Elsie will just look a little "chipper" for the next 5 or so years!
