But things are getting in order, and I got a new modem, so now I'm back on line.
Surely, that is a momentous event.
But even more momentous . . . Hailey finally lost her first tooth!
More accurately, the dentist forced Hailey to lose her first tooth, and in the process we were presented with a $1,000+ bill. That's right, more than $1,000 in dental work on a 6 1/2 year old girl who will eventually be losing all of those fixed teeth.
Oh well, our baby who cost a quarter of a million dollars to be born, will surely continue costing a lot the rest of her life. We're just thankful we get to have her, so we'll afford her. :-)
Hailey has two grown up teeth growing in behind her baby teeth, so the dentist extracted them with their big long roots and all.
Then she diagnosed her with 4 new cavities and one missing filling.
Today we jetted her back for a last minute cavity filling session during which she became FREAKED out by the whirring of the drill. Oh what a festive experience.
But she's having a great time whistling her "s" sounds through her new tooth hole!
In case, you don't see what we see - check out how far back those big teeth are coming. When I asked the Dentist if they'll straighten out, she was like "Well, there's always a chance that the tongue will help push them forward . . . but . . . " Like I said, our quarter of a million dollar baby keeps getting more and more expensive. That looks like a future brace frace if I ever saw one. OI!
