Madison’s Busy Week
Madison has had a huge week. On Monday, the dentist pulled out three teeth. On Tuesday night (after we put her to bed), she came out and handed me another tooth she had pulled out (The Tooth Fairy is broke now!). That’s 4 teeth in 2 days!
On Wednesday, we went to Madison’s piano lessons. I’ve had quite a few people ask how thing were going this this, and they are going great! She loves piano. She practices without having to fight with her. AND she got 5 songs to practice for next week. Normally, she was getting 3, but she really kicked butt this week. Her teacher told me that some kids only get 1 a week, and she wanted to let me know how good she was doing.
She has also decided that she doesn’t want me to walk her into school. Instead, she wants me to drop her off at the drop off point and leave. We’ve been doing that all week, and she’s been doing awesome with it!
As you can see, she’s had a great week!
Madison’s Teeth Problems
The other post was getting a bit long, and I wanted to let everybody know what is going on with Madison’s teeth now. Here’s what we are literally looking at:
You can clearly see where she chipped her tooth. However, if you look, the upper tooth is now filling that area (we figure that’s why the tooth chipped in the first place.). However, they can’t fix the bottom tooth until we get that top one of the way. 2 dentist/orthodontist appts later, we have a plan. First, we have to wait till her mouth settles because she has gum trauma. I guess her mouth can keep shifting until the gum damage fixes itself. It was decided to wait till after the holidays, and she will be fitted with a retainer. After that upper tooth gets moved out of that area, they will be fixing the bottom tooth.
I was hoping to get this all fixed before Christmas, but there isn’t much I can do about that. It could have been so much worse, so I guess I need to be thankful for what we are dealing with.
