Flying High

The kids had a great time playing on the water slide this weekend and were getting bolder each day. On Monday, the kids and one of their friends were playing (another mom was supervising) and I was in the house working when I heard the door open and someone yell, "We need you, Marcie's been hurt!" I went outside not knowing what to expect and saw my friend holding Marcie in a towel and blood on Marcie's mouth. When I looked closer, I saw this gaping hole where one of her upper front teeth was. So, I got ice and after she calmed down, noticed that her lower tooth was a bit wiggly. I ended up calling the dentist because the hole where her tooth was was so big and then I gave her some motrin. She recovered quickly though and asked to go to CiCi's for supper so she could get a brownie and she even ate some pizza. Boy, kids sure are resilient!

So, you ask how this happened....well, my little daredevil decided to do a flip and rather than just rolling over as she was sliding down the slide (which even Kyle who just turned 4 was doing), Marcie decided to jump and flip. My friend said Marcie ended up flipping twice and going over the side of the slide rather than down it. She landed in the water but as she was landing, Marcie said her knee hit her mouth. So, now Marcie has a cut and bruised lower lip, a wiggly lower tooth, a hole where her left front tooth should be AND still her daredevil spirit!
