1 down and … how many times do we have to do this? What started over 2 weeks ago with a little wiggle ended tonight as Alyssa’s first baby tooth literally fell out of her mouth. We have tried to get it out for the last several nights because her adult tooth is already coming in behind it. Let’s just say that she did not like the method that Ethan and I were using. The sessions usually ended with all of us frustrated, Alyssa crying and asking God to just take it out. I finally let it go and accepted that it would come out when it was time. Tonight we were reading books before bed and I asked her to just wiggle the tooth while we read. One book later she spits something out of her mouth and gasps as she realizes it is her tooth. Painless. She screamed, danced around, ran downstairs to show Daddy. She decided she wanted to take it to school before she left it for the tooth fairy. What is the going rate for teeth these days? I wish we were done but now the other bottom tooth is loose too. I think God made this into such an aggrevating experience so I would not recognize that my baby is growing up. She is loosing teeth…. really?
What a big girl! And can I just say… Holy Moly… she sure looks like her mama in that picture! ; )
What a big girl! I willingly let my dad pull some of my loose teeth with a pair of pliers. How gross is that? I will NOT be doing that to my children. Maybe that’s why I hate the dentist or anything metal touching my teeth….I need therapy!
That is too cool! Gabby is just days away from losing the same bottom tooth. I’m curious what the tooth fairy will decide to leave. I can’t believe they’re already losing their teeth. It’s almost sad, because it’s seems not too long ago we were so excited about them getting their first tooth, now they are losing them!!!
Wow, Alyssa does look like Julie in that pic!
I think the going rate is either a new cell phone or a piece of jewelry from Tiffany’s. Isn’t that what people are giving their kids nowadays? I think it was a quarter back when I was losing my teeth, but kids laugh at quarters and use them to play games with, then throw them away now. I guess I am not very good at this parenting thing. Glad it is you and not me!
