The tooth dilema

I know all these pictures look alike, but Brielle's expression is different on each one and I think she is just too cute not to show off. It was the first day I was able to dress them alike. Very fulfilling as a mom for some reason! I might just need to get out more.



So....we are back to dentist problems. A few weeks ago Raegan went to our dentist to have him fix her cavities. We had been preparing her for it. She sat fine through the laser part of cleaning out the cavity. The dentist then showed her the filling he was going to put in her mouth. It looked like a shot. She freaked out, started crying and wouldn't let him finish filling the cavity, something that would have only taken about 5 minutes. Needless to say, she wouldn't stop crying so the dentist said we would have to take her to a pediatric dentist to get it filled. He recommended on to us. We went to the pediatric dentist to get it filled but they didn't quite understand what was going on and didn't plan for her to get a cavity filled that day so we had to make another appointment in 2 weeks to go back. So now she just has to walk around with a big ol' hole in her 2 front teeth until it gets filled. I know I will be singing "All I want for Christmas is Raegan's two front teeth." Who knows if she will ever get it filled because I am sure she will freak out again. Very frustrating because the teeth will probably fall out in the next year or so, not to mention all the money we have to pay the new dentist. Kids, can't live with them, can't live without them.

I can't believe how big they are getting. Boy does time go by fast. We can't wait to see you all in a couple of weeks. Emily

Happy belated bday, Amy! Your blog is so fun - and our kids love all the videos and want to play with your kids:).

I hear you on the dentist - I hate how expensive it is!

Love the look-a-like meters, too:)

P.S. Trevor lost his first tooth at age 4 1/2, so you never know. I thought that was WAY early, but I guess anywhere from 4-9 is "normal"!
