Fan-C lost her first tooth.
Yep, she is six and finally has crossed
over to the Tooth-Fairy cycle.
Here is the problem. About six weeks ago she started complaining that her mouth hurt. I looked and didn't see anything and then like two days later a tooth was coming in... BEHIND all her other teeth. I freaked and went to get her to the dentist and the big snow of 2008 hit. Snow, ice and all the kids in tow.... not going to the dentist. Then my sister-in-law (dental hygienist) said that the dentist would just tell her to get the baby tooth out... soon. I told Fan-C to push on it with her tongue. She wouldn't. So, tonight I told Fan-C that I wanted to look in her mouth. I got my finger nail in between her teeth and just flicked it with my thumb nail and bam... it fell forward. I just grabbed it and out it came. She is flipping out and screaming because she can taste her own blood. I show her the tooth and she says, "The tooth fairy better leave me like $800 dollars. Cuz that hurt!" I told her the Tooth Fairy is dealing with a slumping economy and not to get her hopes up quite that high.
Here is the pic of the tooth that has grown in behind the hole that it should have been growing into... *sigh* I so wanted to avoid the orthodontist with my kiddos...
(fleck of color on the back teeth is from her vitamin)
The tiny tooth... I really can't wait to do that again. (hence the title of this post) I told Lance after I pulled it that I got such a rush, I should have been a dentist or maxillofacial dentist/ surgeon ...

Ohhh! I almost laughed out loud but then I realized that would probably be rude. Poor big girl! Does it make you a sadist if you enjoyed inflicting pain (even if it was necessary?) Hopefully it will straighten as it comes in.
ew! That's a funny story!
So how DOES the tooth fairy cope with an economic slowdown? :) ;)
What's the going rate for teeth in your part of the world?
I think Trinity is starting to get to the losing teeth stage. She freaks out more than I have seen any child freak out about blood. I am not looking forward to it.
EEw. I couldn't have done that!! You're a brave mama.
What a cutie girl you have.
