A Tooth is Pulled

At the start of tonight Savannah had four loose teeth... her two front teeth on the top and two on the bottom. We've noticed that one of the bottom teeth was BARELY hanging on... she's been playing with it a lot the last few days. Tonight she walked up to Laurie and said, "Pull my tooth, Mommy."

Laurie was very surprised, especially remembering back to the last time we attempted that (lots of tears with no result). But... we decided to go for it.

At first, she became a little stubborn and almost changed her mind...

But, she decided we should go for it...

I couldn't get a good grip on with my big fingers, so Laurie got a piece of napkin and tested it...

Savannah got ready as she gave me one last peek at the tooth...

1 - 2 - 3...

It happened so quickly Savannah didn't even feel it... And there was only a little blood


Of course, Andrew reacted with his usual dramatic face...



What a pretty smile... nothing like a brand new smile with one less tooth (notice the upper front tooth that's dangling... it shouldn't be long)

Savannah recently purchased a "tooth box" to leave for the Tooth Fairy and this is the first time she gets to use it...

Notice the curlers that Savannah had put into her hair tonight after her shower... She saw them recently and asked Mommy about them... Laurie had bought them a long time ago for her, but Savannah didn't have interest in them until now). There were more, but... I think Savannah treated them more like "toys" originally and lost most of them. She's so excited about waking up in the morning with "curly hair." We'll see, though... especially since there were only eight curlers left and Savannah has such straight hair.
