Losing A Tooth

It has been a really long time since Emma has lost any teeth. I think the last one was when she was 7 or 8. She has had a molar loose for the last couple of months, but when she got back from camp she said it was really loose. At about 3:00 pm today, she came up to me and said, "mom will you pull my tooth?" I'm not usually the one that pulls teeth. Tori hasn't let me pull any of hers, she likes when Cheryl does it. So I asked her if she was sure and she told me she wanted me to do it. I tied the floss around it, pulled, and presto the tooth was out. It was just hanging by a thread and the other tooth is already somewhat in.

Once it was out, it was like she was walking on air. The worry was gone. Now she thinks it is pretty cool to be missing a tooth again.

Yeah for Emma!! Hope the tooth fairy still makes an appearance at your house. Way to go Michelle - I can't seem to pull teeth. It creeps me out.
