Tooth Fairy

K lost her first tooth!
It was quite the ordeal, but when all was said and done, she was super excited.
She was crying so hard, and thought it was so "creepy."
It is kind of a weird concept, I guess. I can understand how weird that must be for her!
She went through half a roll of toilet paper. Between blowing her nose, wiping her tears and using it to grip her tooth ... it was kinda funny to watch. Is that bad that I was entertained?
It was hanging on by a thread and I kept offering my help. "Just let me wiggle it." Or "just let me use one finger to feel how much more it needs to move." She wasn't buying.
She insisted on calling her dad, and was on the verge of hysteria.
She finally caved and let me "feel it with one finger." And of course I slip my thumb in there too and pull it right out.
It didn't hurt and she was pleasantly surprised when it didn't bleed. That girl does not handle blood well. She rinsed out her mouth and was golden!
I can't believe she is so big. How did this happen? I think I'm going to become a shut-in. Maybe if I shut the doors, time won't go so fast. Maybe.
THE tooth

One proud toothless girl
Notice the runny nose, and red watery eyes. But she made it!!

I don't think that it is bad that you were entertained :) I probably would be too. I still can't believe how big your kids are getting!! ;(
