Abigail had her right, top eye tooth pulled yesterday. The gum was growing down into the tooth, and there was another tooth trying to come in on top of the loose one! The gum that was growing down into the loose tooth was holding it there so it never would have come out on its' own. She did a great job...she's so brave :) It doesn't seem to be hurting her at all! We also went to the orthodontist on Tuesday for the kids' check ups. Joshua's teeth are looking great, but he swallows incorrectly. His tongue pushes against the roof of his mouth when he swallows, and that is causing an over bite. In six months, the orthodontist will check him out again, and probably refer us to a speech therapist who can teach Josh how to swallow correctly :) Abby will most likely need to have another tooth pulled, sometime this year, and then when she is 9 she will probably need a few braces on the front of her teeth, and will wear them for a year or so. She's pretty excited about that...one of her friends from church (who is 9) has braces on her front teeth and she thinks it's cool :P
Alrighty...I need to scoot off and do some more cleaning!! Oh, and to my lovely in-laws, I am hoping to get the kids pictures taken after Becky leaves ;) Love you both!!!
