This weekend was an eventful one for our youngest who is 5. He lost his first tooth. It was the usual first tooth trauma - 'will it come out on its own or not'. Daddy would tease him and he'd try oh so hard to wiggle that thing out. Finally, Saturday night, he let me give it a go & POP! out it came. We have the unspoken joke of the tooth fairy here. Everyone knows it's Daddy, but everyone plays along. The first tooth is always the big one financial wise & he wasn't disappointed. It gave him something to brag about to all our church folks on Sunday morning. We took pictures, but hubby doesn't have them off the camera yet. I'll maybe post one later....if I remember. 
I also have a tooth saga going on. I lost the back of a lower molar last spring & let it go. ( I know...naughty me.) It finally got infected. Initially, I thought I had a sinus infection as my pain was on the upper jaw and ear. I went to my physician who graciously gave me an antibiotic, and though initially that gave me relief, it did not solve the problem. So, to make the long saga a bit shorter, I'm in the process of a root canal. Today was visit 3 of 5. I must say, my dentist, is a gem. His work has been practically painless & he's very conscientious. He's a Christian and quite friendly, so we have great talks whilst I'm his victim, ha, ha, ha. Anyway, the cleaning out is all done and next comes the crown.
Tomorrow, Christmas break is over and we start school again officially. I'm ready & yet not so ready. I've enjoyed our leisurely vacation and don't want to have to hit the 'grindstone', but, the kids are really ready for some structure again so time to move along.
