I'd post a picture, but I can't find the camera. Lily's been working on this particular first tooth for about 3 weeks. She was so excited when it was first loose, but having it yanked out at that time was a bit too intimidating for her. I told her to work on it for a while wiggling it whenever she could. That was fine with her, but she informed me that she couldn't do it at school, because it was against the rules to put her finger in her mouth there. Okay.
Last Saturday - Dec 17th, she came to show me how loose it had gotten. I told her I could probably knock it out if she wanted me to. She nodded her head and before she could change her mind, I yanked on it quickly and it popped right out. She had a mixture of emotions after that. She couldn't wait for the tooth fairy, couldn't believe all the blood and why did I hurt her like that? After the bleeding stopped, she just couldn't stop admiring how cute she looked with her missing toothy grin. There are pics. I just have to find the camera to post them. I promise to do that soon.
By the way - the tooth fair came and gave her a whole dollar. She couldn't wait to go shopping and ended up buying a toy jewelry set at the dollar store. She wanted ear rings, but settled for the sticker kind in the set instead. She also left a note for the tooth fairy letting her know how much she loved the dollar. What a thoughtful little girl.
