Dentist

Back in September, Preston had to get four of his bottom teeth pulled out.

 Getting the laughing gas.  My kids get so kooky on that stuff.  As he was lying there, sniffing away, he told us, "I just turned that light on." The light was totally off.  We said, "Oh really?"  To which he replied, "Yeah.  I just turned it on with my foot!"  He never even lifted his leg off the table.  Ha!

Here he is with his missing teeth.  He had his first visit from the tooth fairy that night and was so excited!

Loose Tooth

Trenton had a really loose tooth a couple of weeks ago.  I mean really loose.  He was able to bend it all the way in to the roof of his mouth.  So naturally, I thought it was time to pull it.  After he ran and grabbed the floss, I made a loop and tied it around the tooth, nice and tight, and gave it a good yank.

It was still a little too attached.

Poor Trenton.  I tied such a tight loop around the tooth, we couldn't get the floss off.  And the tooth was not about to come out.  We did finally get the floss off with scissors... very carefully.  I had to laugh my head off for a while first though.  I know, nice mom, huh?  The tooth ended up coming out all on it's own a couple of days later.  I think Trenton was pretty happy we didn't have to pull the floss out again.

Something's Missing...

Vivi started the day yesterday looking like this.  (Boy, is she cute or what?)

 

Part way into the day she looked like this.

And after getting these two little beauties pulled...

She took on this appearance.  (She was a brave little soul through the whole thing.)

Which later led to her looking like this.  And I still can't get over how cute she looks!  (My favorite quote of the day:  "Mom!  I forgot to ask Colson how to eat without teeth!")
