A treasure?

This weekend, Jude started to complain of a toothache. We weren't sure if he was quite on the mark because he would point to a different tooth (top and bottom) each time we asked him where it hurt. We gave ice and Motrin. He didn't seem to complain much on Sunday, so we thought whatever it was had passed.

We woke up this morning to a little boy with a very swollen upper lip. We then thought he had hurt the little piece of skin that's way up between the gum line and the upper lip. Rog took him to the doctor, the doctor said take him to the dentist. The dentist took x-rays and turns out he had an abscessed tooth! They pulled it at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Not a pleasant experience for him or me. Poor little guy seems to be doing much better now. He's gonna have an empty spot in his mouth for a couple years, though. (It was the top, left incisor.)

He is putting his "treasure" in our tooth jar tonight for the Tooth Fairy to come by and pick up. I'm betting she might leave a little bit bigger than usual treasure for all the trouble he had to go through!
