So Abby has shark teeth. I know crazy claim but let me explain. Abby has only had one tooth, so far, that has grown in properly. By that I mean her adult tooth grew in underneath her baby tooth and naturally pushed it out. All others have grown in behind her baby teeth, making it difficult for the baby tooth to come out. Her first tooth came out on its own and then she had to have two pulled by the dentist. She had one remaining on top that they did not pull so that it didnt cost me a fortune and because it was close to coming out on its own.

So for weeks, Abby fiddled with and twisted her tooth. She wouldnt let Shaun or I pull it mainly because everyone but Abby has pulled her teeth thus far. So it dragged on, for weeks, until this morning. We were on our way to school and Abby was finishing the last of her breakfast (another story for another time). As she went to put a piece of bread into her mouth, we hit a speed bump and she bumped her tooth. Hard. It was barely hanging on and at that point, Abby pulled it from her mouth.

We arrived at school, mouth bloodied from the missing tooth but luckily not a drop landed on her clothes.We got her cleaned up, took a picture of course, and then on her way to school she went. Never a dull moment with these girls and this was just another piece of evidence to prove it. Yay for Abby and hopefully the tooth fairy comes tonight!

The tooth that wouldn’t leave… finally left!

Cleaned up most of the mess but the tooth is finally out. Now the adult tooth can move forward and take its place where it belongs!
