Snaggle Tooth Phase Begins

So I'm finally blogging some things that have happened over the past month, so bear with the 'this happened a bit ago' theme...

Carter told me at the end of March that he felt some bumps in the front of his mouth. So after some investigation, we saw that an adult tooth had completely poked through the gums BEHIND one of his front baby teeth. Since the tooth wasn't really that wiggly, I called the dentist and they said to bring him in for an extraction. When we went in, they determined the other adult tooth next to it was about to come through also and they thought he should have both teeth extracted. So after some shots (during which Carter was a total champ), both teeth came out.

We played up the tooth fairy part to help him through the shots. I made him a pillow the day before the extractions (he chose electric guitar material) and indeed the fairy came that night.

The only downside has been he can't eat apples whole. But as I write this, his adult teeth have come in almost all the way so he took an apple to school today - see how news changes if you wait long enough to blog it!
