Everly lost her first tooth!

Last week, just a couple of days before Christmas, I got a text from Justin while I was at the gym. Everly had finally lost her first tooth. She turned 6 back in October and still hadn't lost a tooth yet. Well, at least not naturally. Almost exactly 3 years ago in my last week of maternity leave with Aspen, Everly had a fall and chipped her tooth and then a couple of months later we had to pull that tooth because the root was damaged. You can read about it HERE and HERE. So now she actually has a two tooth gap in the front on the bottom but it is really cute. Neither Justin or I had any cash so I told him to pull one of the little shopkins out of Aspen's stocking and put it under Everly's pillow. When I got home from the gym we told her to go look under her pillow and she was totally surprised and excited. She didn't even care that it wasn't money. She is getting so grown up!

Toddlers....ugh!

So during my maternity leave, just a couple of days before Thanksgiving, I was watching Everly and Teddy while Kim was at an appointment for Cameron. My younger sister was there as well helping out. We were sitting in the family room with Aspen and Teddy and Everly were riding around on these two little ride-on toys that Teddy calls "buh-bye's." They ride on these all the time from one end of the house to the other and fall all the time. Well apparently that was my lucky day because Everly fell and started screaming and I went in to the kitchen to find her on the ground and she had chipped her tooth...bad. She actually chipped two teeth but really took a lot off the bottom one. It didn't bleed very much and she was really more shocked than anything else. It is the saddest thing to me to see what it did to her beautiful cheesy smile but she is fine. Justin got her into his general dentist that day and then we were referred to a pediatric dentist which I took her to the day after Thanksgiving. She did AMAZING at both dentists. She let them clean her teeth, look around, and even get x-rays. It isn't bothering her at all and hasn't hindered her eating so they are going to let it sit and check on it again in a couple of months to make sure it is not dying or anything (if so we would need to pull it). She is such a tough little girl sometimes and I am sure I was more traumatized by the whole thing than her as she has already gone back to riding on those stupid toys! Toddlers, man! Also, I was very happy with Soloman Pediatric Dentistry in Glendale. They were super great and patient with Everly and very helpful. Thanks to my mom for helping me take Everly to her second appointment!

She took Teddy's doll with her and was in pretty good spirits.

 

Good little patient.
