Quick Big News!

We had an exciting event in our house yesterday! Hanny has had a tooth that has been a little loose on and off since August. Yes...August. I've been at her to keep working on it, especially in the last couple weeks. It had, in that time, successfully gone from being vertical to being almost totally horizontal in her mouth. It was not a pretty sight. It was useless and inconvenient. Notice I used the word "was." It's a "was" now! When I could see the big tooth behind it just poking through the skin, I decided it was time to get that stubborn tooth out of there. I worked on it for about 30 minutes just wiggling it, twisting it, etc. I had to get past the heebie-jeebies, though. By that time I could look at the back of it and see that it wasn't even attached in the back, so I put her to work. I can handle wiggling it, but I was not going to be the one to push it out of there. She pushed it straight up toward her nose and got rid of it! It was exciting and worthy of a happy dance. I told her we might have to include money in the envelope just to get the Tooth Fairy to take it since it had taken so long to get it to her. She woke up at 6:10 this morning just so she could see if the Tooth Fairy had visited. Thankfully, she remembered to do her job before she flitted off to bed! :)
