Kenna's tooth...

When it comes to pulling out teeth, Kenna is wimpy, or maybe she has an awful lot of will power to not wiggle them AT ALL.. until they literally fall out on there own.

Good example... she lost her first tooth while eating "rice" at "Pounders".  We were lucky to find that one since it looked just like a kernel of rice... and she lost the second while eating a subway sandwich at the park. 

(and yes we do eat food from our own house every once in a while!)

So when it came time that tooth number three was hanging by a thread Tayler said, "Let me feel it Kenna."  And she gave it a very small tug...

And then it was backwards in her mouth... 

and she wanted it left like that.

We told her it needed to come out.  So our family spent the next 45 minutes in the bathroom listening to her screaming, crying, preparing for the big moment.

Tayler REALLY wanted to do the honors...

The pictures speak for themselves of Kenna's excitement...

... and then it was out...  although in this next picture with it out she is still screaming in anticipation...

And then once again all was right with the world...

It's been 2 weeks and the other front tooth is EXTREMELY loose too, she doesn't want anyone wiggling it for her though...

We want to sing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" to her...  but then I'm not so sure I want it out either...

she already talks super funny due to this "Expander" she has on the roof of her mouth.

 (and I'm sure you're wondering what that's for...  My explanation is that... "It's so that orthodontists make more money by starting children at 7 years old in appliances.: J/K J/K J/K  It is stretching her jaw so there will be more room for the teeth to grow in)  

I told her I would just pull tooth number 4 out for her when she is  sleeping and she wouldn't even know it.

But I'm guessing my dental school brother Jeff just thought to himself... "Save it for me... I'll be there pretty soon!" (insert evil laugh!)
