Lost another one!

Doesn't she look happy?

Luci won't let me touch her loose teeth after the great "Dental Floss Incident" of last Spring, in which I tried to pull a tooth that wasn't quite ready.

She pulled out this one all by herself!

Two Biggies Today!

Luci went to her first Tang-Soo-Do class (Korean karate) with JT.  No telling if she'll ever go to a second class, but I hope she continues.

Luci wiggled out her tooth today!

Snaggle Tooth!

This was two weeks ago...Luci's second tooth was very loose, so I talked her into letting me pull it.  But...it didn't budge!  I nearly gave Luci whiplash. 

Ever since, she's been scared to even let me look at the inside of her mouth, even from across the room with my hands clasped behind my back.

Until today.  I cornered her, me holding a length of dental floss and Luci holding onto her mouth.  She managed to scream quite loudly, even with her hand over her mouth!

Luci wiggled her tooth and said, "It's not loose!"  but as she wiggled it, it nearly fell out!  So I told her I wouldn't touch it, but she should just wiggle it one more time and see what happens.

That teeny tiny tooth fell out!  And there was B-L-O-O-D!

Which made a really neat story to tell Daddy at supper.

The Tooth Fairy Messed Up!

This handsome young man lost a tooth yesterday. Hid it under his pillow. Tooth Fairy forgot!! So this morning I'm scrambling around, looking for a dollar bill (she's more generous now, when I was little she only left a quarter). Tooth Fairy was heard to ask, "JT, do you take checks?"
