Running out of teeth



A little while back, I took the kiddos for their semi-annual dental appointments. There were the usual x-rays and CE came out of her exam with the dentist telling me that her mouth was poised to lose about 8 teeth in the next month or so, because of which permanent teeth were formed and ready to erupt. I tried to take the picture above to show you her mouth. (note to self, taking pictures of missing molars is not a skill I have!) She has lost 5 of the 8 teeth already, 3 in about 36 hours. Combine this with the state of CW's mouth:



And our tooth fairy might soon be forced to declare bankruptcy. (although, if the debts are secured by teeth, then they can't really be discharged . . . can you imagine getting a monthly "payment plan" from the tooth fairy?--yes, I am such a geek)

Apparently, your picture taking causes CW significant pain and distress. You really should work on non-invasive photography. :)

EIGHT in the next month??!! That's a new record! The tooth fairy may want to consider budgeting. ;)
