Chipped Tooth

There is a reason why they say that glass tables are not safe for babies.........

Caroline chipped one of her top teeth on Friday morning. We have a small glass top table in the playroom (that I have been saying we need to move for several months now) and she lost her balance as she was standing in front of it, trying to bite it. It was one of those things that happens in slow motion. I saw her getting too close to the table and as I reached to stop her she just fell and I couldn't get there fast enough. She hit the table hard and left a bit of white powdery residue on the table-- what I soon figured out was a bit of her top tooth. She was fine after a couple of minutes of crying. And then I could see and feel that the tooth was indeed chipped.

As it just so happens, this was the same day that I had scheduled her one year pictures. Figures! The good thing is that the chip really isn't noticeable unless you point it out. Needless to say, the table has now been moved.
