After her extended holiday Grace returned to school today, and after a relatively small amount of, “I want to go with you daddy,” she had an excellent day.

Unfortunately she didn’t end the day well, and had to make a trip to the dentist after a giant fall. We were talking in the kitchen and Grace was dancing in the passage, and then there was a mighty crash, followed by a mighty howl, and when we picked her up there was a mighty lot of blood everywhere. I don’t know exactly how she did it, but she nearly knocked her front two teeth out. Fortunately she didn’t break either of them, and she doesn’t have to have them pulled. They are currently quite loose, and not so straight any more, but according to the dentist and the x-ray its nearly time for them to fall out, so they are a bit on the loose side anyway. In their current state her gums should heal up okay and the teeth will get more solid in their place again. They’ll be a bit skew until they fall out, but at least she didn’t crack the teeth. She also managed to chop open her bottom lip in two places, so she has a big fat swollen lip too. This is all quite a challenge for working on her “f” sound for speech therapy…
