Janae a.k.a Jack-o-Lantern

Janae has lost 3 teeth in one week! The last one to go was a doozy. It was hanging by one little corner and would just not let go. We tried a couple of times throughout the day. And when I say we, I mean me. Apparently Ben couldn't even watch. Who knew? All these years and I just finally noticed him rush out of the room today. I said incredulously, "You couldn't even watch." And he sheepishly replied, "It's only with teeth." And I thought he could do everything. :) That explains why he wasn't offering back up. Janae was getting upset with me because I just couldn't get it out and she was whining about it hurting. (I was tempted to bring up giving birth to her, but I was good and kept it to myself.) And I was getting frustrated because the tooth was hanging all weird in her mouth and causing problems when she ate. So I finally said, "Fine. I'm done. I won't pull it out. Dad will have to do it." Well you see now that wasn't going to happen. And the whole time Janae kept saying, "Let's call John. Let's call John." And I'm like, "Sweetie, I know Uncle John is a dentist but he can't do anything from Sullivan. It's not gonna help to call." But apparently talking to a dentist did help. We talked to Brother Wehrmeister at church today and he suggested using Anbesol. Wow! Why didn't we think of that! And long story short . . . it worked. Tooth is out and she can eat, but not speak. :) So these are a few before and after pictures. Oh! And her glasses broke this weekend, which is why she looks "different" in her after picture.

And since this post is all about Janae, here are some photos of Janae being mauled by our friend, Iris Anderson. :) Janae loves babies.
