As you can tell, I haven't been apart of the blogging world lately. We didn't really have anything exciting going on but then John-David's sister Bonnijane came to visit. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures really while she was here and then all the kids got sick. We've had horrible rainy weather here as well so we haven't been out much. Finally on Monday the sun came out and we were in between people being sick so we decided to venture to the park. We were having a nice time until Jackson made a poor choice and needed a little time out. I, being mother of the year, left my almost two year old unattended on the 5-12 year old play ground on the slide platform while I sat Jackson on a bench for a little "thinking time". Next thing I hear is crying and I turn around to find Kelsey is on the ground flat on her back. I run over to her, check her over, discover no blood and we go sit on the bench. I check her again and notice there is a little blood on the side of her mouth but I assume that is from the fat lip forming. I decided it was time to go. I put her in the stroller, gather the other two and begin the walk home. All the way home Kelsey cried. When we got home she cried for another hour. I couldn't figure out why until during Family Home evening I look down while she was laying in my lap and see this.
No wonder she was crying for so long. She lost part of her front tooth. Most mothers would have thoroughly inspected their children's mouths right after they fell. Not me. Now she has a snaggle fraggle tooth. I wanted to cry when I saw it. Her poor little mouth. It must hurt her too because she cried when she tried to eat an apple slice and gave it back. I think I might take her to a pediatric dentist. She has always been our wild dare devil and I think it has finally caught up with her.

At least you can't tell from a far that she has a country bumpkin tooth. I guess she just is getting ready for Halloween. Maybe I should have her go as a pumpkin instead.

She is related to Melissa. Super glue works like a charm. I know because we tried it once with one of Melissa's many mishaps!
Oh, but she still so dang cute. And, I don't think you could ever call yourself a bad mother.
Thats right she is just taking after her aunt just a little bit younger. Too bad you couldn't find the other half yes super glue does work.
If it makes you feel any better, I was looking for some horrific mangled body part too in the picture. I guess I won't be a good mom and will have have Hill Billy children too. At least they will fit in down here in Georgia.
Oh Kathryn. I laughed out loud with that story. That is so something that I would have done. Kelsey still looks like a doll...and so grown up these days. Hope your family is feeling better;)
Well, in a few weeks, you will be used to looking at it I suppose and then in a few years she will lose that ol tooth and none will be the wiser right? I hope that she can eat though. That can't be good... Hope things get better there soon! I would hate for the CPS to have to come in there. :)
Ohh, poor Kelsey! But don't worry, she doesn't look anything like a country bumpkin!
Ian did the same thing while we were watching a BYU game in the med student lounge. At least she cried. It took us days to pinpoint when it happened to him. You're definitely a better mom than me!
Poor Kelsey but I just loved this story. I still think that you are wonder mom and Kelsey is so cute.
