Toothy Trials

Leah has officially been visited by the Tooth Fairy. It was a bumpy road to get to that milestone.

She has had a couple loose teeth for quite a while, without much progress. Meanwhile, the adult teeth were just coming up behind the babies. We did this once before...with Daniel. That didn't give us very good results, so we're all over this current situation.

The kids went in for a regular cleaning and we scheduled an additional visit for Leah to get those two loose teeth pulled. Well, as it turned out, she need 4 pulled, not 2. Unfortunately, only two were loose.

We sent her back and thought she'd be back in 10 minutes or less. (That's how fast Daniel's come out.) It took much longer and involved FOUR pokes with the syringe to numb her mouth. Two teeth came out with the full root. OUCH.

We had planned on going out to dinner after all of this, but decided that Leah wouldn't have much fun sitting at a table, drooling, while we ate. So we went through a drive-though and at hamburgers at home.

Let me just say this...it was a very good thing that she had a red shirt on! ewww
