Finally!

She almost needed a tooth extraction.

Both front top teeth are finally out, and let me tell you, it has been a long and arduous process. Her top left tooth had a mind of its own. In fact, it seemed to take on its own spiteful personality. For 3 long months we have been wiggling this tooth with only disappointment. We have watched it slowly sink down lower and lower, taunting us every step of the way. For the last 4 weeks it has been down and tilted to the side, protruding forward, and every day we would say, "It's got to be ready now," and we would wiggle and wiggle, but to no avail.

And then, 3 days ago, Jaclyn was eating a piece of chicken and says, "My tooth came out!"

"Finally!" we thought, but wouldn't you know it was the other top tooth! Which hadn't even been loose that long! So, back we were to that old, ornery tooth again.

This week has been full of tears from a girl who wanted the tooth out but wouldn't let anyone touch it. Lots of hours spent agonizing and fretting.

Today, it came out.

Jaclyn didn't even know it.

We can't even find it.

The stupid tooth won't even show its face.

Good riddens.
