Teeth update

And just like that, poof, they're gone!

Ta-dahhh!

She pulled them out herself apparently.  She said 'no pain also', haha.  Guess they were wobbly enough - she'd been shaking the first one for over a week and last week she presented it to me on a tissue.  The second one came out a mere couple of days later.  I'd expected that one to stick around longer since it started wobbling much later.

Ah Kong had told her, "there, eat too many sweets loh!".  But the real reason...

Got new tooth growing!
(well I only see ONE growing)


Thinking back, I'm thankful these teeth have lasted.  She had that bad fall at 2yo where she crashed into a vertical drawer handle (the handle was later removed by hubby and remains in storage till this day) right at this spot from mouth to chin. At that time I had been worried about many things:  Infection - there have been none, teeth falling out or maybe worse, needing serious medical attention - didn't happen, a bad scar on her chin - well you can see the scar but I guess it really isn't too bad.

This morning she was excited about going back to school after a week of school holiday.  Why? To show the gap in her teeth to her friends!

I am glad she's taking this so well.
