A Frequent Guest



Th Tooth Fairy is getting to know our family quite well lately! Three visits in one week! The first two were for my niece, Ashley - fun that the fancy fairy knew just where to find her - and last night, the visit was for someone new. . . none other than the super fast growing - kindergarten going, spinning ballerina - Gabriella Paige!! Woohoo!! First, let me tell you that the tooth has been ready to come out for WELL over a week. It's been hanging by *less* than a thread for a couple of days. It was actually pretty gross talking to her, because the silly tooth would bounce around her lips as she would talk. (If Silvia ever saw that, it would be gone in a FLASH!) I tried to get her to allow me to pull it, but she refused. None of us were allowed to touch it at all. She was convinced that the Tooth Fairy would pull it out at night. It didn't matter that Milo and I, Madison, Lillian and Ashley told her (until we were blue in the face) that the Tooth Fairy can't come until it was already out. . . a few nights ago, Milo tried to wiggle it while she was sleeping, but she started to freak out - so - we just had to wait. Finally last night, I told her that I saw a bit of blood and that I needed to carefully wipe it with a kleenex - then i gripped the thing and pulled. It easily came out, and she didn't feel a thing until she saw it was gone. (ha!) Now, we should be expecting another visit VERY soon. . . her other bottom tooth is also very ready - just not quite as 'floppy'. . . Silvia - you want to come and get it out for us??? You are *OUR* favorite Tooth Fairy!!!

OH!! Congrats Ella!!! that is so exciting to loose your first tooth!!

Hil you guys are so nice when mine have a wiggly tooth I just get a piece of kleenex, hold them down and pull it out! I couldn't stand looking at some scraggly tooth in their mouths. Tell Ell's she's lucky she has such a patient momma.

Yeah - I figure that there are *so* many things that we won't put up with, that this was a battle that we would let Ella win. . . and she sure was happy. The next tooth won't be nearly as traumatic.

She's so cute Hils. She looks just like you, as do all your girls. Congrats on losing the tooth! Caleb was much the same losing his first tooth, until I just got sick of it and did what Christi did, just held him down and pulled it out. !!
