This tooth has needed to come out for quite a while. It's actually amazing that it stayed in so long. Hannah has hit her front teeth so many times that they have become discolored, and this tooth that came out was crooked. The last time Mike took an x-ray of her teeth, you could see that her two front ones have been traumatized so much that they don't even have any roots anymore. So you would think pulling it would have been an easy job. Even though it was really loose, Nate still had to do some work to get it out. Hannah had started to not brush her teeth very well because she didn't want to hurt this tooth, so I was glad she let him pull it. She did a great job.

Ashley had traumatized one of her front teeth when she was little and it was BY FAR the hardest one to pull out. It hung on by a thread for days and we couldn't get it to come out. Maybe the body finds a way to re-anchor them in after you've damaged it...we'll have to ask Mike!
Oh - by the way - I love the changes you've made to the blog and your house looks awesome!
Elise is having the same problem right now with the exact same tooth now missing from Hannah's mouth. :) We tried to pull it last week, but that didn't go so well. It's just attached in the front, so you'd think it'd be easy to pull out, but it wasn't and I think it freaked her out a little. But maybe we just need to work with it more and help get it ready. It's hanging in there crooked and I'm dying to yank it out! Its so hard being a kid. :)
