My parents came for a visit a couple of days before Thanksgiving. A week before Thanksgiving, Dylan smashed his teeth on our stairs. He was screaming for a long time (this isn't normal for Dylan) so we knew it wasn't just his normal bonk and he kept bleeding. Luckily we are friends with his dentist, so we called him and he happened to be home so we went over to his house. Two of his teeth were loose. He told us that he won't be biting down with his front teeth for several weeks because it will hurt and one tooth suffered a concussion. What? Really..a tooth? Okay, there was lots of trauma. HIs gums were really bruised for about a week. It was sad and gross, but I should've taken a picture because I had never seen really bruised gums before. The next day we went to his office for x-rays. His roots and jaw bone were fine so we just need to monitor him...and then come back in a month to see what has changed. We also got a prescription mouthwash because Dylan was not wanting his teeth brushed (don't blame him) but we didn't want infection. Well, my kid knocked his teeth 2 more times since then. They are still in, but we don't know for how long. His dentist is so nice and even called to see how he was doing. Dylan still won't bite totally on his front teeth, but he manages to eat still. For awhile, he was really miserable and super clingy.
As mentioned before, our friends Cohen and Isaac are moving the end of December, so Robyn asked us if we could watch the kids while they flew up to look for a house. As a thank you before we even watched them, she gave us a membership to the Arboretum. So since Blake had the whole week of Thanksgiving off, we went with Grandma and Grandpa on Monday.
The petting zoo was still there.
Blake even pet the animals.
The pumpkin patch was still up and the 12 days of Christmas display was up. It is about a mile walk long tour of all the displays.
Nice hair!
Then we went to the children's section so the kids could get out some energy.
And Grandpa needed to get out some energy too.
After the Arboretum we went to a mall where they have a large train display. Grandpa took the boys while my mom and I went shopping. After shopping we met Aaron at Lockhart's for my birthday dinner. It is a bbq place and very tasty! We all enjoyed it. It was a great birthday!
