So there was this one time, I was out sending Annie to one of her activities when Claire phoned me. There was an urgency in her voice and also wailing in the background so I knew something was up.
She told me that Eva had been playing with Solomon until his tooth came out!
My first question was, "Was it a shaky tooth?"
She repeated my question aloud and it was replied with even louder wailing!
Then I asked if there was a lot of blood and whether it was still bleeding. She confirmed that there was not much bleeding and I instructed her to get Solomon to bite down on a towel if the bleeding wouldn't stop.
Later on when I got home, I got the whole story. This is what went down:
Solomon and Eva were playing with a piece of wet wipe. (FYI: yes, we do buy them toys) They were pulling at it and were terribly amazed that it was so strong, it would not tear!
So Eva came up with a bright idea and said to Solomon, "You bite the wet wipes and I pull!"
He then proceeded to lie down on the floor with the wet wipe clenched firmly between his teeth and Eva of course pulled.
... and you know the rest...
