Visit from the Tooth Fairy

In the span of 8 days, we had two visits from the Tooth Fairy!

Mom is really happy that those two teeth have finally been pulled. In November, we figured out that Andrew had a loose tooth. A few days or weeks later I realized that his adult teeth were coming in behind his baby teeth even though the baby teeth weren't out yet!

We were in need of seeing the dentist anyway, so off to make sure that we weren't in an orthodontic situation that was going to cost us lots of $$! We were reassured, that this was pretty normal and the tongue was going to push his teeth forward when the baby teeth came out. Our instructions were to wiggle the teeth and work on getting them out of there but they didn't have to pulled.

Andrew wasn't really that interested in wiggling his teeth so I did that for him! My husband thought I was crazy! I pulled the first tooth but Andrew pulled the next one by himself though I kept threatening to do so. The second tooth was almost sticking straight out - the other tooth was so tall and close that it couldn't even push it back upright anymore.

Thankfully, the permanent teeth have really moved a bunch since the other teeth have moved out of the way.
