Kayson - Teeth Extraction

Well this morning our little man had to have 3 baby teeth extracted.  Originally - the plan was the 2 'eye-teeth' in order to make room for the 4 permanent teeth that would come into their place (yeah - small mouth - large teeth = problems!!)  the plan stayed, but then diverted to get a back baby molar out as well...  it's been causing problems anyway, so the dentist just decided to take it. 

Kayson was nervous.  So was I (but when am I not?!)  He was quiet on the ride there... but once we were there, he seemed ok.  The dentist gave him the nitro to calm him, and it did (maybe not as well as it did with Cora), but it definitely helped!  The whole process took about 35 minutes - unbelievable!!  K did great...

Once we got home...  Kayson had a small meltdown.  Crying, super emotional...  I think he was just so scared and overwhelmed that once we were home (and it was all over), he just needed to let his emotions out.  SO MY CHILD!!!  :)  I let him cry... and he just rested for a little bit.  By 10 am, he was pretty good...  the numbing was starting to go away... I gave him a little ibuprofen to help with some achyness that he had...  and by 1:00 - he was great, back to normal. 

Before!

I'm so proud of him...  what a mess he'll have to go through with these teeth.  Just hoping we don't have to do this again!  :)

Look at those ginormous teeth!
