Phase 1

Phase 1 of the orthodontic process started today with the extraction of 6 teeth!
And if you have to have 6 teeth taken out...

You better eat a good breakfast before you go:)
Noah got his favorite this morning...
Bojangles "Bo-berry" biscuits

I wanted a before and after pic. The after was much harder to get with his face numb, so I gave up on that for now!

Getting started...What a trooper he was!
He didn't move a muscle the entire time.

The bloody teeth. Ewwww!
It actually took longer to numb his mouth than it did to remove all the teeth. Dr. Buddy and his staff are so good at what they do!

The cleaner version:)

15 minutes after we got home, he was playing the Wii
& by 4pm he was out playing basketball.

Once (with a mouth full of gauze) he tried to tell me something. I started laughing because I didn't understand and Natalie says "Noah, you don't need to speak Spanish. We don't understand you!"

He also was trying to sing/hum in the car on the way to pick up Natalie from preschool.
I'd say he was in pretty good spirits to have just had 6 teeth removed, don't you?

His menu for a day or two. He's pretty excited!
