So, Emilee is losing her teeth all over the place. She just lost one front tooth about a week ago. Then she had a dental appointment for them to take out one of her molars in the back. It was abscessed and had to be removed. Now, Emilee does not do so well with the dentist. She freaks out even when they put water in her mouth, so we have a pediadentist we go to when ever she has to have more work then an exam. Last time she just had a minor bit of medication and the rubber nose over her nose. She screamed of course. This time they gave her a heavy dose of medication and used the rubber nose over her nose. She still screamed some. Well, I figured since she was heavily medicated, I would have them take out the other front tooth as well. She was out of it most of the day. I tried to get a picture of the back molar. I couldn't get a clear picture of it, but we called it her monster tooth. For both teeth, the monster tooth and the front tooth, the tooth fairy gave her $5. Pretty good, don't you think? Well, Emilee is doing great now as you can see. She is very cute toothless. I also think having no front teeth and a monster tooth gone has made her a bit more hyper lately. Like we need that, right? Now we are getting ready for new birthday pictures.......so stay tuned for that in the next couple of weeks.

No more teeth

These are things we have to look forward to. Right now Max still loves his dentist. Of course he has only been twice but, is going again in a couple of weeks. We'll see.
I am not fond of the dentist, Abi had to have a very small cavity fixed and did a great job. I can't imagine getting one removed because of abcess. OUCH!!
