#4 is No More!

Trent's tooth that is. But just to mention it, Brett Favre did actually retire this year.
It's about time one of Trent's teeth comes out on it's own, with very little drama! Just a little wrestling with a friend and the tooth pops out!

Toothful Tales

Back in December 2009, after month's of being loose, Trent finally lost his first tooth. (Read about it here - Click on it) We have started to notice a trend. His second tooth had to be pulled by the dentist because his other tooth had completely grown in behind it.(Read about it here - Click on it). His third tooth has been just as stubborn, until we finally had to take matters into our own hands! This was March 10th. His teacher left me a voicemail saying he had an abscess in his gums, and she used to work for a dentist, and we should get it checked out. Lucky for us, Trent's dentist is also one of his hockey coaches and we'd be seeing him that night. He suggested we get the tooth out if we can otherwise, he could prescribe some antibiotics. Well, the later wasen't gonna happen, so operation tooth removal began. There was wiggling, there was twisting, there were even pliers involved. That tooth was so loose, but not coming out! Luckily Marshall was the man for this job, I am not good with this kind of stuff. Finally he wrapped a piece of floss up under the tooth, around the root. A swift yank (my stomach churns just recalling this!), a loud scream, a major gush of blood, and the tooth was out! A quick call to Coach Einer and that was that. Tooth out, abcess drained. Success! And an extra bump in the tooth fairy $ for the difficulty endured!
Now his fourth loose tooth has been no exception. Wiggly since the third tooth incident, but not coming out. And he really does work on them, it's not like he leaves them alone! Suprisingly he even still lets US near his teeth, but I don't think any of us could go through what we did with tooth #2 again!Looking like a real hockey player, just in time for the tournament. The tournament where there are no winners and no loosers! (HA! We know. Won two games, lost the third, but who's counting!)

Can we please.....

It's all I've been hearing for about a year.
"Can we pleeeeease go to the dentist."
Trent has so far, only lost one tooth. Right after he lost it, both the bottom adult teeth started growing in. One behind his not even close to being loose, baby tooth. Enough with this little tooth, apointments finally made.
I personally HATE the dentist. I hate very few things, the dentist is one of them. I'll never forget the sound I heard as the dentist was pulling my teeth so I could get braces. TRAUMATIZED.
As we were pulling into the dentist's parking lot, Callie says, "Oooh! I'm soooo excited!" Who raised these kids?
True to their expectations, everything was hunky-dory. Callie got a Princess toothbrush. What could be better? You bet she can't wait to go back.

Long Lost!

You might remember me mentioning awhile back that Trent had a loose tooth. We'll it actually did finally fall out. Two months (an eternity!) of wiggling and wiggling. This tooth seemed like it was never gonna fall out, and we were getting aggressive with it!
The tooth fairy brought Trent $5. He wanted to keep the tooth, so we suggested he write a note. He did and with out complaining one bit about the pink, stuck the tooth in the little"lost tooth holder" my Grammie gave me when I lost my first tooth. "Dear Tooth Fairy, can I keep my tooth please?"Trent also left us this message on the computer. BIG SMILES!

Enjoy the Ride.

Here's a quick update;

Callie can almost ride her big girl bike!
I hope to catch her on video this week! Check back in a couple days!

Trent finally has a loose tooth!
