Snaggle Tooth

While we were in Canada E lost her tooth. It was hanging by a thread and E was hysterical. After listening to her scream for 45 minutes I handed her over to Oma. She did say the funniest things while she was hysterical though, one of them being "This hurts so bad and is the WORST! DAY! EVER! and you won't stop laughing at me!" I tried not to laugh but it was hilarious!

Oma go all sneaky and bumped E's arm while she was wiggling her tooth and it popped right out. Way to go Oma!

Judging by the way these two teeth are coming in, we better start saving for braces. :)

Tooth Fairy

One afternoon E came running up to me saying she had a loose tooth. I was very skeptical... she's only 5. But after wiggling it for myself it was confirmed. E has a loose tooth!!!!

Within 5 minutes E went from crying her eyes out terrified that loosing her tooth would hurt. She went on and on saying how she was afraid and then I explained that all of her teeth would fall out and that new teeth would grow in, that's just the way it worked. She was hysterical! Sobbing completely devastated. I then told her that the tooth fairy would come and BOOM! Instant smiles, jumping up and down cheering. It was quite the spectrum of emotions! 

I thought it would take awhile for her tooth to come out but within two weeks it had happened. She pushed too hard on her tooth with her tongue and *pop* out it came. 

She didn't hardly cry, just a bit more shocked than anything.

TADA!!!! There's our big toothless girl!!!! I can't believe how big she has gotten! Stop growing up sweet girl!!

 That night Mama made her a tooth fairy pillow and E put her tooth in it.

 The next morning E had a gold coin!! She was so excited!

Her next tooth is already wiggly and you can see her adult tooth poking through! Still can't believe that my daughter is old enough to loose teeth!
