Hannah was going for the most unusual tooth arraignment award! If you look closely in this picture you will see her two new bottom teeth behind the one in front. She was finally able to wiggle out the first baby tooth, only to swallow it in her excitement about 2 months ago. We have since been working on wiggling the other front tooth.
Hannah is not a wiggler! I have never had a kid who did not want to wiggle their teeth out.
Caleb is a "church wiggler", loosing his first 6 teeth in the middle of a sermon. Since I now make him sit more still, he has become a "school wiggler" loosing his last couple during math! Funny thing is I think Drew did the same thing! Must be a boy thing.
Danielle was the last kid she knew to loose a tooth, being the ONLY child in her kindergarten class not to loose a tooth. so when hers were ready she aggressively wiggled to catch up.
Erinn was what I would consider normal, one here and one there.
So with Hannah we tried everything bribery, scolding and making a game of it. Nothing worked and as the new teeth kept coming in it got less wiggly. So to finally put an end to this long story, yesterday she went to the dentist and had it pulled out. No we are praying the new teeth move forward to their correct places. It is not that we do not like orthodontist, after all that is where Erinn works, but we would like to avoid that expenditure if at all possible.

Emma's the same way...but she did eventually pull out her top 2 teeth w/ much encouragement BEFORE the new ones grew in behind them!
