Day Number 6

 Today was a long one. I picked up the kids from school early and headed straight  to the dentist for cleanings. Gabe's teeth were great!  Amanda had 2 permanent teeth coming in wrong because she hadn't lost the baby teeth that were above them yet.   She had already had her cleaning done when I asked about a loose tooth they said they were going to have to be pulled so that the new teeth could come in as they were supposed to. I said: "They?" and she said: "Yeah she has another tooth coming in the same way. We can take care of that now if you want? It won't take very long.".  So Amanda and I had a little chat and we decided together that we were going to let them pull the teeth out. I am so proud of her! She was so brave going back there all by herself. They wouldn't let me go with her because of the "Oral Surgery" thing.  She came out laughing because she couldn't feel her lower lip.  Sometimes I just cannot believe she's only almost 9. Where has all this time gone?

Here she is! My big grown up oldest child:

 The teeth. She is very proud of them!!

Unfortunately we have to go back tomorrow so Amanda can get a couple of fillings put in.

Gross! But glad it all worked out for her! Mouth stuff is no fun (ask Math...). Makes me all squidgy just thinking about it. *shiver* Good luck to all your kiddos and their teeth!

Tell me about it! I can't even stand to watch them wiggle their loose teeth! Having to help her care for her mouth yesterday was stretching my abilities!
