Not great pictures - but aren't those teeth huge? The dentist said they were no way near ready to come out. Could have taken another year. Glad we got them pulled. They are the 2nd to last in the back. The xrays show the big teeth but they are still a ways from coming in. Sterling said the hygienist tapped on his forehead while they were freezing him. He said the conversation went something like this:Sterling: "That's really annoying"
Hygienist: "Ya, but you're not thinking about the needles right now, are you?"
So, for now he is just taking it easy. His mouth is full of gauze and he will be eating soft foods for a while. Next month he gets his bottom tracks on. They are a mess so I am glad we will be getting them done. There is a lot of moving that needs to be done with those teeth so hopefully it isn't too painful for him.
Anyways, he was a real trooper. I have been advised that the tooth fairy should fork out at least $15 for these beauties. Yikes!

Those are pretty darn BIG baby teeth - I wonder what his permanent teeth and roots are going to be like. Sounds like the nurse did a good job of distracting Sterling!! Hope you're feeling okay today.
Nice talking to you Kaeden - you guys are getting so grown up staying by yourselves - we're very proud of you!!
Friends just called to go for coffee. They've been down south since the beginning of Jan. so we're anxious to see how they enjoyed it.
Hope you had a great day Craig & Shannon!!
BIG HUGS TO ALL!
My what big teeth you have!! Glad things went well Sterling. There's nothing wrong with being afraid and the dentist is a pretty scary person. Baba had 15 crowns done this winter in Mexico. He had a sore jaw for a couple of weeks. He had 5 appointments that totalled 13+ hours...with his mouth open. He doesn't mind the dentist but I hate going.
I had some catching up to do as we haven't read the blog in awhile. Thanks for keeping us up to date Shannon. We should have wi-fi next week at the park we're going to. It's been different having to come to town to use the internet but when you've lived in Paradise for five weeks, you can do without lots of things. This place is so off the beaten track that it seems like another world. A wonderful other world.
So glad you're enjoying your new shifts. It makes it easier on you knowing the boys are so responsible. Can't wait to see them and you this summer. Glad spring break has gone well for you guys, lots of fun and freedom. Hope swimming was great today.
Love to all
