Something's missing!

The girls had a dentist appointment today and we came home missing a tooth. Ellie had two loose teeth, but one of them was in need of some help coming out. Her permanent tooth was already coming in behind the baby tooth and it was starting to cause her some pain. She was prepared and ready for the dentist to pull it out. When we got home she ran right upstairs to look in the mirror. She came down the stairs and I asked her what she thought. Her response was, "Not great, not great at all." She did a great job and I was proud of her for being so brave.

Lexie couldn't be left out of the picture taking. She's showing off her clean teeth and dirty hands.
Her dentist talked to her about how she needs to not use a binky anymore (trust me I know she is WAY to old to still have it) She has only been using it to fall asleep and we even cut the tip so it wouldn't suck anymore. This girl is so stubborn she didn't care if it worked or not. On the way home she told me we could get rid of it. She walked upstairs found the last one she has a gave it to me. Now I just have to be tough and not give in to giving it back. Hopefully she will be able to fall asleep without it.
