Last week Stella started complaining that her tooth hurt. My first thought? CAVITY! But upon closer inspection I determined that no, we did not have to commence with a root canal, my girl had her first loose tooth. She has been impatiently waiting for this moment ever since her friends started losing theirs and was downright gleeful that within a short period of time she was going to join the bloody gums club.
By last night I seriously thought she was going to take a pair of pliers to it. Somehow, she managed to contain herself until this morning when I told her that I could see the root and she needed to just PULL IT OUT ALREADY! So she did.
Stella, don’t let the Tooth Fairy feed you a line of crap about recessions or bad economy…….I have it on good authority Mrs. Tooth Fairy has her eye on a new kitchen. I think it’s at least $20.00 or a King sized bag of M&Ms (that you get to eat whenever you want) for the FIRST tooth. Congrats on reaching another “growing up” milestone.
Just when you thought a smile couldn’t get any sweeter! There’s something about a toothless smile (and I’m not talking one on an old, hairy guy from the Ozarks) that is just so adorable. Congratulations Stelly Belle!!
Congratulations Little Lady, and listen to Aunt Dore she is wise!
