Exactly two weeks after Magnus banged his front teeth, one of them started turning grey. After a follow-up visit to a very good local dentist, we think there is a good chance the tooth will have to come out early. At the moment, with no indications of infection or pain, the necrotic tooth will stay right where it is.
Here is Magnus flashing his choppers at the library (with his finger painting project):
Thought I would throw in this one for fun:
Magnus, in the meantime, is not having any issues at all using his grey tooth. Just the other morning he sank his teeth into his sisters finger in front of his horrified Po Po. After some yelling, scolding, and much crying (both Maya and Magnus) everything settled down. But, possessed perhaps by a naughty grey devil, Magnus' tooth got more action at bedtime when he sank his teeth into his sisters toes. More yelling, scolding, teaching, and crying ensued. I finally got Magnus to admit that he bit Maya because he wanted my attention. I taught him to ask for my attention instead of biting, and we all eventually settled in for the night.
In the aftermath, Maya still adores her older brother, and Magnus still shows a lot of affection for her. Toddlers and Babies don't take these things personally - perhaps the best way to forgive and forget. :)
