Yesterday at school I got a page over the intercom to come to the office. So I went down there and there stood Tanner with a upset look on his face trying not to cry. He had broken off half of his front tooth in P.E. when he was practicing the high jump. Somehow when he went over the bar his knee hit his mouth and knocked out part of his front tooth. OUCH!
We headed right over to the dentist they were so good to get us right in. They said luckily he didn't have to have a root canal done right then because they could see the nerve but they didn't think he had hit it. So they fixed it the best they could with a fake temporary tooth. However the dentist thinks that eventually they will need to do a little bit of surgery and pull more of the tooth down and then put a veneer in, because of how it broke. Poor Kid.
Here is the after you can't really tell. He was so brave and didn't cry once during the whole thing dentist trip and all. I told them luckily it wasn't Chloe I brought in or we would have had to heavily sedate her to even get her in the chair. LOL
Then last night was the pinewood derby. Here are all the cars lined up to race. It was really a fun time. Tanner's car did really well. He consistently got about 3.20 to 3.21 and was usually in the heat that had the 3rd fastest times. The times ran from 2.90 to 3.76 so his did really well especially considering the fact that it was wobbling a little bit due to one of the axles being off just a little.
He won an award for the neatest car. It's kind of sad that this is our last pinewood derby because next year at this time Tanner will have graduated to boy scouts :(
