Baby teeth that is!Hannah lost her first baby tooth on the Saturday evening before Easter Sunday. She is thrilled, of course, viewing it as a right of passage or coming of age. Hannah is also pleased that the absence of the afore mentioned tooth is quite obvious. The first one to go was her upper right central incisor--leaving a very big hole. Hannah is also convinced she looks "WAY older." I concur and find this very distressing!
Hannah had been wiggling her tooth for a couple of months. There were weeks when she would eat a whole apple daily, hoping to dislodge the pesky tooth. I just bit my nails and hoped that the tooth wouldn't decide that it needed to be pulled on my watch. I determined long ago Daddy was the man for the job!
So on Saturday afternoon (Hannah also happened to be rocking a 103.5 degree fever--more on that later) Hannah and Daddy decided it was time. They situated themselves on the couch, while I began video recording and photographing the event. However, it was not time-- not until later in the evening that is! After an afternoon of pulling, twisting, tugging, wiggling, and one final meal, Daddy finally removed the tooth to the delight of an anxious and brave six (and a half--very important) year old little girl.
And, for your video watching pleasure:

That's awesome!! And you captured the "event" so well, Lori. :)
Wow, look at that new smile...that even older girl smile! Can't believe how fast those six (and half!) years have flown by!
I mourned my child's "baby smile" when she lost her first tooth! :)
Awesome! Way to go! We didn't do this way. We would put the string around the tooth and to the door knob and slam the door. I didn't remember too much about it but quick though! It does sound painfully but not really to me.
