Toothless.....

Do you remember the movie Toothless? Well we had our own version yesterday afternoon. You see, Parker (who is almost 12) has had a problem with losing his baby teeth, even though the permanent teeth were coming in. This has resulted in "double decker" teeth - apparently it is some kind of condition that the baby teeth just don't want to leave.

Anyway - Parker had SEVEN - yes SEVEN - teeth pulled yesterday. His entire face was numb. He kept saying - "Mom, touch my lip", and then he would laugh when he couldn't feel my touch. He didn't realize that it felt normal to me - other than the drool that was coming out because his mouth was full of gauze......! When we got home he was HUNGRY - but couldn't really eat anything because he couldn't control the muscles in his mouth. We all know how it feels to have a numb mouth - right? He was very frustrated, but finallly the numbness wore off and he was able to eat and life was good again - until we started his homework!!!!!

I don't know why, but each of my kids have been somewhat challenged in the "teeth" department. Preston has "undersized" laterals. Meranda doesn't have any laterals. And now Parker had the double decker situation. Thank goodness for dentists and orthodontists that keep my kids smiling.....

Great kids and husband.....

We had a RS lesson on Sunday about happiness and being happy. The teacher gave a great lesson and one thing that has stuck in my mind is to tell Evan, Preston, Meranda and Parker how happy they make me and that being their Wife and Mom is the best thing in the world!!!!!
