Remember that wiggly tooth on June 2nd?
Welllllllll, it’s been wiggly for about 3 weeks. The bottom tooth joined the fun to wiggle too. This one was much more amenable to falling out, I think.
She has been asking, “When will it come out, Mommy?” How am I supposed to know? So, I just say, “Probably tomorrow!”
So, today, Friday, she was determined to get that bottom tooth out. We made a plan. Let’s tie one end of the tooth with some yarn and the other end to Coti’s foot. Then, when he takes off running…….BYE BYE TOOTH! Good plan, eh? You see, I am too much of a scaredy cat to inflict pain, so I wanted nothing to do with the removal process. Coti needed to do it.
Not so much. It wouldn’t stay on. So we tried the doorknob effect.
Again, no go.
So, I went to make dinner and I told her we’d try again tomorrow.
That was not good enough for Tatum. She is one determined, tenacious little Tot.
While I made dinner, she continued to wiggle it. And wiggle it. And wiggle it. And wiggle it.
Apparently she was playing with Coti, and then she bumped into Coti and Coti bumped into her, and then……
the tooth just POPPED out!
Glory BE!!! She did it! Well, with the help of little Snuggle bug.
So, now, we must insert it into the tooth pillow,
thanks to my honey Dougy, and wait for the tooth fairy to come.
Just so she can see it better, here are some close ups.
And there is much rejoicing. Or there will be tomorrow.
P.S. (This was not expected so I need some fast thinking to discuss cash with this here fairy).
