Hockey and A Knocked out Tooth

Caden started Hockey last Tuesday. Our town has their own hockey team, the Wenatchee Wild, and they are BIG here. The team members are always out in the community, especially the schools. They read to the kids, and come to the schools during p.e. The kids love it. An hour practice take two hours, because the kids are padded from head to toe. They wear these hilarious shorts (I secretly call them "fatty shorts") that protect lots of things :), elbow pads, knee pads, shin pads, chin pads, shoulder pads.... finger pads...... so you might have guessed by now that the first practice went really well, and it was Rheanna that got her tooth knocked out. Which is what happens when you have three brothers. Thank goodness, because I have discovered that I find the process of loosing teeth really disgusting, especially that gaping bloody hole that they are so proud of. A wrestling brother knocked her loose tooth, almost out, and she was able to get it out the rest of the way!! She is delighted, but I am sad because she looks so cute and I can already see her tooth coming in. Speaking of teeth, we took her in for a routine dental appointment and found out there is something wrong with her jaw that will be so much easier to fix now as she grows, and most likely Britt has it too but they can't tell for sure until he is older. I do know that Rheanna's baby teeth are already crammed into her head, and if she has my big horse teeth... well, you see.
