Pain in the.......teeth!


Poor Maya. She had dental surgery just this last Monday. She had her gum cut open to reveal a misguided tooth. To try to correct this anomoly they attached a chain to the tooth to try to woo it to grow in the right direction. Painful. She has stitches in her gum and a very sore, swollen mouth. She's been home from school ever since. Today, just as an added bonus she has complained of pain in her side. I can feel some swelling there and so she's off to the doctor. Henry has a bad habit of lashing out at her when they're playing together and he gets a little over excited. To try to stop him before he accidentally whacks her in the mouth, Maya yells "stop it" and gives him a little painless slap on his hands. He now walks around the house hitting his own hand saying "stop it".
