Liberti's tooth is through,Xmas parade, A horrible accident with Landon and Daddy is home















































































First I will start by saying Landon had a horrible accident. Much to the surprise of everyone probably, Liberti did not do it this time though she witnessed it. Landon ran through the living room and around teh corner heading for the kitchen with me calling to him "stop running in the house" he fell very hard directly on the hard plastic bus he was carrying. Landon still doe not put his hands down when he falls. He has busted his mouth, gottenfat lips and even bloody teeth several times but this takes the cake! He smashed in one of his front teeth and the other front tooth went up, over and turned. It was sooooo horrible and bloody and super scary for everyone. Liberti thought it was jsut plain nasty at first and she ran around saying "eww eww yucky" until we started to load them up into the car and our neighbors/friends came over to check him out. once we said hospital she started bawling and was very very upset. She let greg hold her and comfort her, showed real tears of sadness and concern. Sounds like a normal response for a kid you think? Well not in this kid normally. Thought we were very freaked about Landon as he was histericle of course, Everyone couldnt help but notice Liberti show genuine emotion for her brother. We dropped her off and moms while we went to the hospital and while she was there she reinacted it out for them talking a hundrend miles a minute in her made up language with a few english words and sounds and also was concerned about him while we were gone then when we picked her back up she jumped in asking "Landon you ok? Ok Landon?" Landon isnt really OK though. His teeth are pretty messed up though the hospital couldnt do anything to help him. They couldnt even stirch him since the cut was so far apart (and skin rolled sorry graffic) it had zero suture capability and what can they do for teeth? They didnt even rinse it or give him pain meds. He has been misserable and will be heading to the dentist next week once the swelling has gone down and they can asses it better. He wont eat hardly anything at all. 2 packages of ramen noodles and one oatmeal cream pie in 3 days. Oh and a few boiled eggs. He wont eat ice cream, jello, oatmeal or pudding either. We have tried pretty much everything. The dr said he wont die from not eating a few days and gosh when he tried to eat a hot dog (against my advice) he ended up screaming for about 30 minutes from the pain if his front teeth. Of course he is not happy when he cant eat a whole lot! The motrin and tylenol just dont do it. He has pretty much cried or whined for the last 3 days. Seriously this poor kid has had a bad couple months.(save more of all that for Landons blog) But back to Liberti, Greg came home on Sat night so he was here when the kids awoke on Sunday. Liberti was excited to see him and she wanted him to hold her hand and carry her when we went out. Then just like that when we were all still out and getting ready to come back she started the "No" and not wanting him near her. He let her come to him and didnt force the affection or anything of course. He's working days and getting home about 6:30 when Liberti has her roughest part of the day since she is so tired but she has doen better than when he left. When he forst gets home she will say No and give a dirty look just when he says hi or comes in but then she will ask where he went. When he gets out of the shower she tries to scare him, and interacts with him. Once they are not playing though she starts the no's, looks and attitude. So im hoping this is progress. I mean he is gettin near her still although she seme more irritable tonight when he came home she could be more tired by the middle of the week with school. On the school note she still hadnt been eating her lunch but I found otu half the reason was that she doenst like to eat food even remotly warm. She likes it boiling pretty much. Her noodles have to about burn you and she eats them that way. I bought her a better thermous to keep them hotter but she said it wasn enough. Today I sent ehr with p&J on a whim and she ate it. The weird thing is that normaly when she gets int eh car she will eat alot of stuff out of her lunch box and she will ask me for food. so I tend to bring her a snack too. But today she ate the sandwhich and she was proud too. She said "mommy Liberti good job" and gave me a high five. Later she told me she just liked the grape jelly LOL not the peanut butter. Also she had a good day on Tuesday where she dressed up in Gregs and my clothes. This was pretty amazing since before she wouldnt let Greg's clothes near her or her stuff. We tend to get one or 2 good days out of the week with less confrontation. we were not so lucky today but even todays tiff wasnt as bad as it could have been. She hasnt been in trouble so far yet this week at school. No pushing other kids yet which is also good especially since Greg is home making her stress a little I would think. Anyhow those are the days that keep our family todather right now. one day a week is all we need right now I guess. Yes it is still disfuntinal LOL and it is still unbelievably hard. We are at 5 1/2 weeks united. Yes that is it. Yes it feels SOOOO much longer! A few pics form our good days...

wow, what a time you've been having. Poor Landon! I'm praying he feels better soon. When my brother was about 2 he fell and hit his mouth on the table (at the dentists office...) and knocked the tooth right back up into the gum. There wasn't anything they could do for him either, but there wasn't ant problem later when his adult teeth grew in.

It sounds like Liberti is really starting to bond more with all of you! I'm happy she was so concerned when Landon got hurt and I pray she will continue to love you all more each day.
