Mary Reese got off the bus Wednesday after school. She was so excited to show me something...
Her first loose tooth! I had been checking them on and off all school year and felt them getting a little bit looser. I had no clue it was as loose as it was.
She was DETERMINED that it was coming out that day. I told her just to keep working at it and maybe it would fall out! She wiggled and wiggled and wiggled. I took all 3 kids to get their hair cut...she wiggled it the entire time.
We got home and she decided that she would let Popsy pull it out. Like I said, she was DETERMINED! The whole family loaded back up and headed to Popsy's office before he left. He put her in a chair and rubbed some "magic" cream on it..
He grabbed a tool and then next thing we know the tooth is flying up in the air...
Here is the new Mary Reese...
I still do a double take sometimes when she is talking!
Before we went to bed that night, we put her tooth in a special pillow...
It is the same one my sister and I used when we were little. My mom made it for us.
She was beyond thrilled to wake up and find $5.00 replacing the tooth in the pocket.
The reason she was so determine...when they loose a tooth, the next day they get to put a special tooth sticker in their journal and write about the experience.
The one next to it is loose as well...it is only a matter of time before we are doing it all again!
