This incident prompted a very special work project. "Project: Tall Stool" took help from all the kids and was completed quickly enough for a test run tonight.

Welcome to the club!
The other night, Joey was showcasing his independence by stacking one stool on top of the other, and climbing up on them to wash his hands. I've seen this act before and have threatened punishment. However, the best punishments are always built-in. In this case, falling off and chipping your tooth!
After Mike mentioned that he had chipped a tooth once too, Michael immediately started consoling Joey witth the fact that he was now in a "chipped tooth club" with Daddy. I was not consoled until we saw the dentist the next day. It didn't get to the nerve I guess, but the tooth may die, and there's nothing we need to do cosmetically, so now we just wait and see if it gets infected.

He only has one month left to be terribly-two, and hasn't exercised the privelage much at all, so the very next day, he tried standing on an inflateable punching bag (do you sense the roundness I'm describing?) and crashed, landing on a tooth and cutting his lip.

This must be why kids get baby teeth first! Lessons to learn before the permanent teeth arrive.
Look how handy Mike is! Carole is right although all my boys have chipped - some broken almost in half their permanent teeth. All have been filled in by the dentist, no teeth have died, they can get their own veneers if they choose to when they are out of the chipping stage - like maybe age 25?
