Medical Updates

I got new glasses! It’s been nearly 3 years since I’ve gotten new frames and the styles have changed so much! Although they ordered the wrong type of lenses for my astigmatism (spherical) so it sort of felt like I was looking through a fish bowl. I was off balance and dizzy, so I felt a bit nauseous by the end of the day. I had reorder the lenses, and I finally feel normal!

Cooper hit his chin on Charlotte’s head really hard and knocked a tooth loose. Besides it hurting very badly, he was pretty upset about the tooth being loose and possibly falling out. I told him he would be okay and soothed him. Then once he calmed down a bit I was in Chris’ office chatting with him. Cooper came in a little more upset and told Chris, ‘Daddy I hit my tooth and it’s loose!’. Chris very bluntly tells him ‘It’s okay, it’s just going to fall out in a few days.’ Cooper became hysterical about his tooth falling out and immediately ran to me. I told Chris that was what he was most scared of. Who knew that teeth falling out could be so scary to a 5 yr old!

So I helped calm him down again and explained about how everyone get big teeth because their little baby teeth fall out. And that the most amazing part is that the tooth fairy collects your teeth when they fall out and pays you money for them. Cooper then asked if he could pull his tooth out right now. Apparently it’s not so scary to have your teeth fall out once you know you get money. Hahaha!

We did take him to the dentist and they took x-rays.  His two lower adult teeth have already cut the roots off both teeth so they are close to falling out anyhow.  So now we just wait!
