Teeth = Money

Ok, the "tooth fairy" is starting to get really tired, not to mention broke! Carson went in and had his third tooth removed as a result of "the fall". Hopefully, this is it for him and this will be his new smile until he is about 6.
When we were at the dentist for Carson, he took a quick look into Abby's mouth because her bottom two teeth were really loose, but seemed to be taking forever to come out. So...he noticed that the new tooth was already growing in behind it and she is was too crowded and it will cause long term problems. So, in short, we scheduled an appointment for him to pull 4 of her teeth out! I am starting to think that the dentist might have a little crush on me, or he just wants my money and loves to torture kids...I choose to believe in the crush!
Here are some before and after pictures of them both. Hopefully we will have no more "teeth talk" from our family and they will grow up with beautiful teeth (or else!).










Abby was really brave. She had a great attitude about the whole thing, until she looked in the mirror and started to cry because she thought that she looked like a monster. We assured her that she still looks beautiful! She is feeling better about the whole thing, especially after the "tooth fairy" came. She has big plans for her money! She also had four shots last week for kindergarten, so this has been a traumatic time for her. We are very proud of her and a little traumatized ourselves, as we realize that we are months away from having a kindergartner!

I had some other pictures from a couple weeks ago when we went to the zoo. We had a great time and they loved all of the animals.

Carson was especially fond of the rhinoceros's and I was too, mainly because I loved to hear him say it!

I had to add some resent pictures of Cooper. (Dad, just focus on his face and ignore his clothes)
