from the dentist to the tooth fairy!

So this morning We get up and Ella promptly tells me her teeth hurt. I look at her teeth and they seem to be fine! She complained again a little later and when i looked at her I noticed that she was starting to look like she had a fat lip.
When I lifted up her top lip to look again I saw this huge hit bubble on her gums...it was UGLY!
We took her to the dentist and we had it checked out. She had a bad infection and her front tooth's nerves had died. Yep she had to loose the tooth...
The Dr said she would be this way for about 2 1/2-3yrs...That is how long before her adult teeth are ready to make there way in!
She is very afraid of the dentist and freaks out pretty bad every time we go....She did great! she got a little up set when they were draining the puss out but he ripped her tooth out in less than 10 seconds and it was over...That is no exaggeration! so here is the cutie with her new smile fresh from the Dentist! (her lips are still numb!)

I hate the dentist too. Poor thing! But she sure looks cute without that tooth :)

Yeah, it's gonna take awhile for that sucker to grow in. My nephew (he's 6) lost his front tooth a year ago... and still no tooth.

But, she'll have a story to tell her kids when they see he missing tooth in all of her pictures!

All the other kids her age are going to think she is "so cool" because she lost a tooth like older kids do. Did the tooth fairy visit?

She did indeed and was quite disturbed that she kept the tooth!

Ella was upset that the tooth fairy kept the tooth...Ella however was not willing to give the money back to get the tooth back! So the tooth fairy kept the tooth and Ella the money! I say it was a win-win situation for all involved!
