She always likes to chew on things (usually her nails, but sometimes her hair, toys, or anything else around her). She had been chewing on a rubber exercise band that Abby found in my room. Abby realized Madilyn had it, wanted it back, and yanked it away from her. It must have been wrapped around her two bottom front teeth, because this is what her beautiful smile looks like now:
It amazes me some of the things she'll put in her mouth to chew on because she won't even consider putting most FOODS into her mouth, she's so picky. Anyway, I had just been on her case about chewing on something else so when her teeth were ripped out of her mouth she initially tried not to show me. She opened her mouth just enough for me to see lots of blood, then I saw a tooth on the couch next to her. It took a long time to find the other one.
I wasn't super worried, aside from all the blood, because they are just baby teeth, but I called the dentist anyway. They had taken x-rays just a week or two before and confirmed that the permanent teeth were on their way up anyway, so it was no big deal (even though her teeth hadn't even been loose).Here's innocent little Abby. You wouldn't think such a sweet little thing could rip out her sister's teeth, but you'd be wrong!
In happier, slightly related news, Noah's same two bottom teeth poked through on the same day! I hope to get some pictures shortly.
