Teeth

 

 

 

It has been all about teeth around here.

 

If I had been smart I should have gone into Dentistry and saved us some money. We have been dealing with teeth issues for the last month.  My wish for the next month is for everyones teeth to stay in their mouths!  

 

~Natalie lost her 2nd tooth last week and was so excited for the the Tooth Fairy to come visit her.  Her permanent tooth has already started to come in so it was ready to come out but was helped along by biting on a blanket and then having her sister rip that blanket out of her mouth.

 

~ I took Julia to visit the Orthodontist.  She has some bite and crowding issues and will be getting an expander hopefully in December.   She is so excited that she has been writing about the exciting visit during writing time at school. (What a funny girl!)  If only we had orthodontic insurance.....somebody call a whambulance for me, this is expensive!

~ Cameron has come of age where his canine and 1st baby molars are all getting loose.  The other week Cameron had Grandma Swany pull out a canine that he just couldn't get out.  And if you know Cam that is saying something.  The kid can rip just about any tooth out of his mouth!  He then had a permanent tooth that was coming in where his molar was but the molar wasn't out or even loose.  We ended up taking him to the dentist to get the molar pulled so that the other tooth could come in normally.  He was a brave guy and on the way home he said, "Wouldn't it be funny if the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny were the same person?"  ...So we might need to have a little talk with him!  Yesterday Cameron showed me that he has like 3 or 4 more loose teeth. Heaven help me!!

~  While I was brushing Lucy's teeth I realized that she is getting her 2 year old molars.  No wonder she has been cranky!
