After seeing all her friends loose some of their teeth, Miss Priss has FINALLY lost one herself! It's the end of her first grade year and according to her it was time. I tried to convince her it was better to keep her baby teeth as long as possible, but there was no convincing!
This first picture was a couple of nights before it actually came out. As badly as she wanted to loose a tooth, she sure was hanging on to this one! She wouldn't let anyone near it, although I tried a few times.
It's like a right-of-passage to finally loose a tooth especially when everyone else around you is doing it. Miss Priss was just beside herself about the whole situation. Other kids were beginning to tease her and she was miserable. Sometimes I honestly think she worried her tooth loose! Never-the-less it finally happened and I've never seen her more excited.
One night as we were sitting in front of fire, I finally convinced her to let me look at how loose it was. Without even knowing it I pulled the tooth right out of her mouth! She was happy when she realized what had happened. She ran to get her tooth fairy pillow and quickly got in bed!
The tooth fairy gave her $5 that night for the tooth. Crazy tooth fairy! We made sure to explain how valuable those 1st baby teeth are and how the others probably won't be worth quite as much. ;)
**Sigh** My baby is growing so fast!
