Update on Miriam

Over the 3-day Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, we went to North Carolina to visit my family. During the family Sunday dinner, the kids were running down the hallway when Miriam fell and hurt her mouth. She had pushed one of her front teeth up higher into her gums as well as cut her bottom lip with her teeth when she fell. Luckily, Morgan's Uncle Greg is a dentist, and offered some good advice. Now we are just waiting for the intruded tooth to come back down. Apparently it will take a few months. The cuts in her lip are all healed and now we are just waiting to see what the tooth will do. Hopefully all will be well and the tooth will be healthy. I don't really want to think about the alternatives. So if you have been wondering what happened to her tooth in some of the pictures, now you know.

Also as a bit of good news, Miriam is now POTTY TRAINED! Once we moved to Georgia we told Miriam that we didn't pack any more pull-ups and that she needed to wear big girl underwear. There were several accidents at first, but it is safe to say now that she is done! I am so proud of her for making this transition!

How funny. Dallin hit is front tooth somehow and now it is discolored and dead. And we're in the middle of potty training. He's doing pretty well 75% of the time.
Good job Mariam. I wish you were here to give Dallin some tips.

Michaela's front tooth is turning grey also, after a bonk on the coffee table. Any HOORAY for potty training! We got Michaela done in October as my birthday present to myself!

Wow. I had no idea that other children were having tooth incidents. Thank goodness for baby teeth, right?

lol. Charlotte has no interest in potty training (unfortunately), but good for Miriam! Hope her tooth turns out okay.
