HIS TWO FRONT TEETH!! 
Today was an interesting day for us. We were supposed to drop the kids at daycare and actually have an "us" day to enjoy being back together. Well, we made it to our first destination and shortly after arriving there, I got a call from the daycare. It seems Evan slipped/tripped in the bathroom and hit his teeth on the hand dryer (conveniently placed low so little kids can use it, of course). So, we hurried to daycare and assessed the damage. Yep, he needed to see a dentist. We called our dentist and got referred to a pediatric dentist and headed there. Within minutes, we were told that the two front teeth needed to come out. Evan was a trooper, got the laughing gas and within about 10 minutes had his two front teeth out. They said the kids usually do better without the parents right by, so we waited out in the waiting room, and he came out just fine minutes later carrying a tiny dinosaur, car and two stickers. He's had a few pain meds, but hasn't complained, ate dinner and actually smiled for a picture. What a big guy!
In other news, our first "us" day didn't happen either. Yesterday the plan was to also have an "us" day, but instead we spent the day taking Camden to the doctor. It seems his cold turned into a double ear infection and pink eye. What fun! I can't believe the luck we're having...at least it all waited until Micah was home to help me out! Micah had been in charge of planning our day today and actually had done a great job of planning some romantic things...too bad we had to cancel them...maybe next time. We're just glad that the boys are both on the mend and we'll all be togther for Christmas!
OMG!!! Poor guy! What a trooper for sure! I wonder how long it will take his adult teeth to come in now since he lost his baby teeth prematurely...maybe they will wait until they would usually come in? I have no idea.
Too bad about your "we" time. I can imagine how frustrated you must be with these kid emergencies taking precidence. You're right tho, at least they waited for Micah to arrive home. I hope you have a great ROMANTIC XMAs EVE and Christmas holiday too! You surely deserve it.
Take care! Hope Santa is good to everyone!
