Janae has had a loose tooth for a while now. She will have me push on it to loosen it even more. Last night I decided it was time for it to come out. Scott had tied a piece of floss around it 2 nights ago and tried, but with no luck. I talked her into pushing the tooth back far enough for me to hook a piece of floss above it. One yank later, we had a tooth hanging low on one side. It couldn't stay that way, so we had to get it out. I found a piece of gauze that Janae used to pull on the tooth, still no luck. So, Scott tied a piece of floss onto the tooth again and gave it a good yank. Success! She cried because she was concerned what the kids in her class would say about her new look. After reassuring her that every single one of the kids in her class either already had (or would soon) look like her, she seemed better.
I love the picture of her crying, holding her tooth. After trying for quite a while, with no luck, to get the pictures in order, here they are. Top right is before, top left is during, bottom right is right when it came out, bottom left is after she had calmed down and middle is the new Janae. I teased her that she could make up a new song titled "All I want for Valentine's Day is my 2 front teeth". She didn't think I was very funny.
5 Thoughts:
You look darling Janae. Hopefully I look that cute after my teeth rot out of my head after eating 18 boxes of girl scout cookies :)
She looks so cute. I don't miss the days of losing teeth myself, but would love to wake up, reach under my pillow, and pull out some money!
Aw, the poor girl looks traumatized in that first one! I would have let you pull my tooth out the other day! I finally got it fixed though so...
I also love the crying picture. Too funny. I'm surprised that was her first lost tooth. Very exciting. When AJ lost two teeth recently he couldn't wait to go to school and put his name on the lost teeth chart.
You were so right. That picture of her crying is FUNNY.
