My Tough Guy

It's official: Matthew is a toughy!  Today, the little guy fell and chipped his tooth, twice.  There was lots of blood, but only a few tears.  Fortunately, David was able to come home from work to decide what to do.  Because of our wacky insurance, he had to take Matthew to a dentist who wouldn't even see him but instead referred him to a pediatric dentist.  Fortunately, we were able to get an appointment very quickly.  The nerve was exposed, so the pediatric dentist recommended extracting the tooth.  (It's a good thing he didn't try to cap it because the tooth was shattered!)  The toughy only cried when they actually began to pull the tooth out.  Clearly, he is over it now and is back to usual cheerful self.  The positive side of the experience is that now it will be a lot easier for others to distinguish between Matthew and Jonathan!
