A hole in her head...

That's what Grandpa Jonesey would call it. He would also warn, "Be careful or all your brains will leak out..."




After many trips to the dentist and several months of x-rays it was decided the tooth had to come out.


She was so brave at the dentist. She sat on her own and it didn't seem to bother her a bit! It was afterward on the way home she kept asking; "Where is my tooth? Mom, we gotta go back and fix it!"

I explained that the tooth was sick and the dentist took it out so her big girl tooth could grow in healthy and strong. She got over it quickly.

The before picture:


and after.


It hasn't seemed to affect her speech much. The 's' sound is the only one I notice is even a little different. WHEW!
