A New First....

On Sunday my oldest daughter lost her first tooth. It had been a teeny bit loose for awhile, but I guess she was wiggling at it on Saturday night and she said it popped a became a lot looser. She started crying because she didn't like the way it felt. Who does? Nobody likes to have a loose tooth! It bothered her so bad that she spent all of Sunday wiggling it. I was about ready to flip because her finger was constantly in her mouth. I guess all that wiggling paid off because it was loose enough after church that her daddy was able to give it a tug and pop it out. He thought is was kind of neat to pull out his first tooth on Father's Day. M was glad to have it out, until she saw that it was bleeding! Once the bleeding stopped she was just fine again and able to eat her dinner. She wouldn't eat breakfast or lunch because her tooth was bugging her so bad. It is still funny to see that hole in her mouth every time she smiles. The whole tooth fairy bit went over really well....except the tooth fairy didn't have any cash. So we ended up getting a dollar of her own money to give to her...we will of course pay her back. We will definately have to stock up on dollar bills for all the other tooth fairy visits.

  1. A new milestone! We need to figure out hom to get your pictures working again. I'd love to see her holey smile!

    Our tooth fairy made the mistake of starting a tradition of 10 shiny dimes. We've had to scrounge for dimes several times!

  2. Love it!! My oldest lost her first tooth a few months ago. It broke my heart--just yet another sign of lost baby-ness.
    So far she's lost 4 teeth, all bottoms, but the two middle ones are half-way in. But!!! all 4 top front ones are loose now, too! That's gonna not be attractive/convenient.
    At least the tooth fairy showed. I think we've had to make excuses for the tooth fairy at least once, maybe twice (Well, we were out of town and maybe the message didn't get passed on that we were in Ohio.)

    It's sweet that he got to pull a tooth on Father's day too!

  5. I didn't cry when M started Kindergarten, but I bawled like a baby when she lost her first tooth.

    Nettie is right, You need to get pictures working!!! I wish M still believed in the tooth fairy. Last tooth she lost she just brought it to me and asked for a dollar. Sigh.

  6. You are generous. The toothfairy leaves a quarter for teeth in our house.
