Month: February 2014

This seems to be a fitting subject for me since I panic when I get hurt. At least now I will have some comfort in getting fixed up. E and I decided to work on First Aid in 4H this year. We are having fun learning all about nose bleeds, injuries, butterfly bandages and so much more.

Mommy made pretend injuries for us to fix up.

When we were done I got to take off the band aides. HAHAHA Payback! I was super careful and then said, “look Mom a t-Rex!” and ripped off the last band aide.

We also learned about choking and how to help someone who is choking.

I have decided to do my demonstration for 4-H on Tooth Trauma. First hand experience!

More extreme dot to dot action.

We visited the Florida State Fair and I put bugs. Lots of them!

We checked out all the animal exhibits. I have decided that rabbits and chickens smell bad.

Playing with the pollen at the playground.

Falling asleep sitting up in bed. I must be exhausted!

We went to a fishing class with Mr. Joe today from Fish On Kayaking Adventures. We met at Sand Key Fishing Pier.

Joe showed us how to bait a hook, how to cast and how to tell when we have a fish!

I caught a bunch of pin fish.

A grunt.

This is Es puffer but I caught a little puffer off another pier so Mommy didn’t get a photo of it.

This bird kept trying to steal our bait!

We dissected a pinfish at the end of class to see the insides. I love Mr. Joe’s classes!

It has been a rough week for me. I was at the playground riding bikes with my pal, Lex. I apparently looked down at my tire because a leaf got stuck. I tipped over and landed teeth first not he tennis courts. Mommy gathered the pieces while Daddy raced to the scene of the accident. We raced off to the dentist (6pm!!!) for an emergency visit.

They took me back and gave me goofy gas and reattached one of the teeth and rebuilt out of bonding material the other tooth.

It looks a lot better but it is not perfect. I go back on Monday during normal hours for the finishing touches. How a kid can fall face first off of a bike and only break teeth. No scratches on my body at all! Well, a little dime sized scratch on my elbow.

My friend, Lex, left me a nice note and some beads to help me feel better. They brought the bikes and scooters home while we raced off to the dentist.

I am stuck for the weekend with limited activity and soft foods. There is still a chance the teeth will die so I have to be super careful until they heal up a little.

Back to the dentist for a polish and check.

You can only tell they are fixed up if you look SUPER close. I am happy! I go back in 6 weeks to check the nerves and see how the teeth are doing.

UPDATE**3/17/2014** Everything looked great at the 6 week checkup. The nerves responded to the cold test. The dentist filed a little bit on the right tooth as there was a small bump. We are all pleased with the results, now I just have to wear my mouthguard, not do silly things and watch hard foods…for the rest of my life. Silly adult teeth! Mommy said “that was one expense leaf that got stuck in my tire.”
