Kicking and Screaming

Poor Amberlee bumped her mouth a little while ago (embarrassing mom confession...I have NO idea when it happened!), and her front tooth has progressively begun to die. When I took her for her check-up before Christmas, our dentist said the tooth had to come out! So today, I had to literally lay across her kicking legs and hold yelling/screaming Amberlee down while they gave her the numbing shot. You should have seen the looks of everyone once they opened the door!!! It actually made me laugh a little! How often do you really hear someone yelling while you're in the waiting room??? She really did try to be very brave, and was so happy that it was finally over! I think she only finds comfort in knowing that the tooth fairy will come tonight!!! Here are her before and after pictures! She's been having fun showing off her missing tooth to her little sisters and I keep finding her looking at herself in the mirror!!!

Dear Amberlee, Grandma Sandy thinks you look absolutley darling with your new missing tooth smile. I sure hope the tooth fairy found you and left you some money. After it was all over I bet it wasn't as bad as you thought is was going to be. I love you!

The dentist is never fun--poor girl had to find that out all too soon.
Cute, cute grin though, and the tooth fairy is always a big plus!
