You have never, ever seen three people more excited. And no, it wasn't one of the two teeth that have been wiggly for months, but it was the one tooth on the bottom that got wiggly just that morning. Her adult tooth had already come in behind her baby tooth (our dentist calls it shark teeth) and on this morning, the adult tooth finally pushed it out. Well, mostly. We tied a string around it, and my husband pulled. And because my daughter didn't really know what the heck we were doing, she didn't flinch or put up a fight. One hefty tug later, the tooth was out!
Truly, I'm a little embarrassed to say that it was one of the most thrilling moments of my life. We waited a long time for this milestone!
Here she is with her loonie from the tooth fairy, along with a special letter. She bought a chocolate doughnut from Tim Horton's with her dollar. A great opportunity for her to order her own treat, and pay for it, all on her own. No eye contact, but success all the same. I am so proud of her.
