tooth fairy

it looks like the tooth fairy will be visiting our house tonight!  what's the going rate these days?our tooth fairy is on a tight budget so we'll see:)  yep, kylee lost her very first tooth.  she was amazing.  it's been loose for a few weeks now, but yesterday i could tell that it would be coming soon.  yesterday, i noticed that it bled a little when she wiggled it.  it totally grossed me out!  and after telling her so that just gave her more initiative to wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!  so at lunch today i told her that she should try wiggling it with a wash cloth like i used to do when i was loosing teeth.  she thought that was a great idea...and even better if she could get it out before dad got home.  so for a half and hour or so she wiggled and twisted and pulled when finally it just came out.  what a sport.  i seriously couldn't watch.  why is it that i don't remember it being so gross when i was doing it to myself as a kid, but seeing that tooth just hanging there gave me the heeby jeebies?  i am glad it's over.  now on to the next tooth...the one right next to it is loose too.  we'll see how long that one takes!  way to go kylee.  i am so proud of you.  you were determined and so brave.  you are a rock star!!!!  (i still can't believe that you are even old enough to loose teeth....what the heck?)

i think you need to delete the "during" picture. she looks WAY too grown up!! my co-worker just told me that her grand-daughter is 7 and hasn't lost any teeth yet. way to go kylee!! she's so advanced at everything. ;)

You captured what all of us "grown ups" wish we could look back on with us being the victim!!! What a great idea with the wash rag! My daddy pulled mine out with a pair of pliers......"oouch". I had an older sister so my dad had to chase me to pull mine. I remember I wouldn't open my mouth for him so it was talking me into it....they probably bribed me with candy! Good job Shannon and good job Kylee. You look so cute with your tooth missing. Can hardly wait until you loose the other one.
I love you all,
