Accident Prone

Audrey is many things--sweet, feisty, affectionate--but she is not graceful. In fact, the little darling seems to tumble more regularly than most 18-month-old-cutie pies. The scabs from her last fall just fell off when she did it again. She face-planted on the hard kitchen floor. She split her lip and knocked a tooth loose. The dentist said the muscles might tighten but they might not. If not, she'll have to have a root canal. Normally they don't save baby teeth, but Audrey is quite young to lose a tooth (most of her baby teeth haven't even come in yet) and the front teeth are integral to proper speech development. If the dentist does save it, it will still likely discolor.

My poor girlie.

OHNO! I hope she doesn't have to have a root canal.

I guess it's just not her style to do anything without going all out. I hope things work out.
