Rather than a holy Christmas, Emily had a rather holey Christmas. Shortly before Christmas, she had her four canine baby teeth extracted, which left pretty big holes in her mouth. Her adult canine teeth have already formed and developed mature roots, so they need a little encouragement to erupt or else they will end up impacted. It was a quick procedure and she did great with it, but it was still something different for her to get used to. While she was still under IV sedation, I didn't think she could hear me and I was telling the oral surgeon how tough she is about stuff. Imagine my shock when she came to and, eyes still closed, said, "Thanks for saying that." Definitely took me by surprise.

Also, shortly before Christmas, Emily took the plunge and got her ears pierced. She definitely wanted them pierced, but it was more painful than she expected so she has already decided that one set of holes is more than enough.
Now that she is back to school, things seem to be rolling along pretty smoothly. So far, there hasn't been too much homework and she has been having fun with friends on the weekends. There is not much excitement for the next few weeks, but in mid-February her entire class will be taking a three-day trip to the state capital, which will likely be eventful.
