The first of her front teeth was extracted by her daddy last week. Yes, my kids have learned that daddy likes to pull teeth for some odd reason and if they don't wish him to pull out a loose tooth, they'd better not let him know they have one!
The second front tooth was extracted by Mimi herself. And in her bed, during the night, no less! That's right--Mimi surprised Richard and me yesterday morning with her new smile and blood on her bed linens!
Mimi is enjoying her new smile and her new voice. At times it is difficult to understand her, due to the escaping of air when she speaks. Richard teases that she now has a lisp and a whistle and calls her "rough and toothless" instead of "tough and ruthless". So far Mimi doesn't mind her new nicknames and is laughing off the teasing comments. We'll see how long that lasts, though.
Mimi is also enjoying the challenges that come with eating while missing so many teeth. (She has also lost four teeth on her bottom jaw, too). Here are some fun pictures:











Who would've thought that pulling teeth was so much fun for Mimi? I guess she got that from her daddy. Or maybe from her Aunt Dena (my sister) who used to pull her teeth out during church to get out of Sacrament Meeting... Strange! Whoever Mimi got it from, she needs to be stopped or by next week she'll have to drink her meals through a straw!
Love, Cara

What adorable pictures!! Fun to see the challenges of eating without enough teeth. =)
I think she got it from Elijah who also likes to pull out teeth. Hopefully by the time the kids reach their teen years they will be done losing teeth. If not and they need money they will just pull out a tooth so they can buy that new shirt!
My poor kids have yet to lose a tooth. They would be so jealous!
Great pictures!
These pictures are so cute Cara! The first one of Mimi in her green dress is just priceless-you'll have to get a frame for that one!
