Raelee Finally Loses Teeth!

Raelee WAS the only  1st-grader in Mrs. Antunez's class who had not lost a tooth.  The funny thing was that her grown-up teeth were all the way through behind the bottom two.  After anxiously waiting for months, the baby teeth never came loose.  So, it was time to pull them.  Don't worry, I didn't let Daddy administer the laughing gas, although I'm sure we could all use some now and then.  Thankfully, we have friends in high places.  Dr. Mitchell was a fraternity brother of Marty's and has one of three Kentuckiana Pediatric Dentistry locations in Mt. Washington. Today, the three kids and I headed there to do the deed.  She cried a little after the numbing shot was given.  The place was so neat-- the entire time, she was able to watch Disney Channel as she laid in the chair as there was a t.v. located flat on the ceiling above her.  WOW!  After she trusted me in the fact that the numbing was the worst part, the rest was easy. She received a little laughing gas, which made Jordyn and I giggle a little too. :-)  They were out in less than 45 seconds.  AMAZING!  She looks so cute... and may be a little too grown up to me.
Check out the roots on these puppies... no wonder they never came loose!
