Janielle had a fall
Janielle had a fall 2 nights ago, by usual standard that wasn't a bad fall, the difference is that when it happened she was carrying Jemaine on her back and was trying to run to catch up to us. She fell face-first I believe, and broke her top right incisor.. Ouch.. Actually I was furious, not because she/they done anything wrong, but I was anguished that it was a preventable accident since I've warned them so many times specifically saying that they will lose their teeth should they fall. Needless to say, they got it bad from me, a long lecture, no physical punishment. I feel bad for Janielle especially that tooth was an permanent tooth, there will not be a replacement. I found 2 fragments on the ground and was hoping that the dentist would be able to salvage them. As we walk back to our car, I didn't talk, the kids did not cry. But when Yanbin carried Janielle into her arms, Janielle just poured into her shoulder, sobbing.. They fell asleep in the car. Later Janielle told us, that when she woke up from that nap, she tried to feel for her tooth, hoping that it was only a bad dream.
In the morning, my stirred emotions finally settled, and I was finally cooled down enough to feel very sorry for Janielle. She was up early chatting with Yanbin at the dining table. She's back to the jovial girl that we know. She is a strong girl indeed. I chatted with the kids, separately. Jemaine felt bad too, she said that she would not ask Janielle to carry her again if we turn back time. She also agreed that Jiejie is strong for she knows that when Jiejie was at the dentist she endured with the discomfort when she was receiving treatment (even the dentist said Janielle is good, usually adults couldn't get through the night without discomfort). I made her promise to keep on walking even if her legs are tired again next time. I can't really fault Janielle for wanting to carry Jemaine when her lil sis grumbles abt her tired legs too; she's only being the big sister that she is. When I chatted with her abt it, she said she will get sad again if I remind her abt it (Lol). The rest of the weekend went by normally after Janielle got her remnant tooth temporarily covered at the dentist. The 2 sisters were back to chattering, playing games at the backseat of the car, complaining abt each other when they got home. I was very glad that Janielle didn't blame Jemaine for what happened despite me scolding Jemaine abt her grumbles in front of Janielle. I'm amazed by her big heart.
For now I can only hope that she gets her tooth build up soon and that the treatment is easy on her, she's too small to be going through all these.. I'm proud to have such a strong girl..
