Cheryl Does it Again

When Tori came home from school on Thursday her front tooth was hanging somewhat sideways. I asked her if she was ready to pull it. She told me she wanted Cheryl to pull it but she didn't want the girls to watch, wanted to rest her head on Cheryl's knees, and have something to squeeze. I called Cheryl to make sure that was ok and then we headed to her house. When we got there Cheryl and Tori went into the bathroom and the rest of us went into the family room to play. Pretty soon I heard, "We need a mommy". When I got into the bathroom Tori was laying on Cheryl's knees with a look of horror on her face, quite a bit of blood, and floss stuck on a tooth that was only half way out. When Cheryl pulled only half of the tooth come loose. The other half was still pretty attached. The only option at this point was for Cheryl to just pull. I held Tori's hand as Cheryl pulled. The tooth popped out and flew across the bathroom. After just a little bit of crying, Tori was ready to show the girls. She did so great and I was so proud of how brave she was. I'm glad Cheryl was there to pull out the tooth. We should call Cheryl the tooth fairy's assistant. Great job Cheryl

I had a chance over the last week to look through older pictures and get them on my external drive. Last November Cheryl did this with pictures she had, so I just had to try, especially with Tori losing teeth and getting so big. I can't believe how much she has grown. I did the same for Emma. She also is just getting so grown up.

Way to be brave Tori! You sure are racking up the tooth fairy visits!

Michelle - the layouts of the girls are precious. They are definitely growing up too fast and looking very mature!

I wonder if Cheryl will make the drive for me when the time comes for Lauren to need the tooth fairy assistant. Way to go Tori!!
I did a similar layout for Lauren and loved how it turned out. It is amazing so see how they change.

Yay for Cheryl! The description you wrote gave me goosebumps....I have a hard time when the kids even want to show me their loose teeth.....gross! Poor Tori....she sure is brave.

love the pictures of the girls

like your new background

I think that Tori favored Emma in the 2003 year. I always thought they looked so different, but that photo of Emma in 2003 looks like her sister :~)
