Another One Gone!

Leah's second tooth has been loose for a long time. The permanent tooth had already started to come out and we could see it behind her baby tooth. We have been bugging her to loosen it more and more every day. I had just talked to our dentist about maybe having to pull it. My brother Marcos tried pulling it a few days ago, with no success. I tried several times and I was too chicken to pull it out. Dave tried once also, Leah tried everyday but not very hard. Abuela was successful after she tied it with a string. It came out with no problem, just a few tears from Leah. After arriving home from a date with Dave we were welcomed by a crying Leah. Her second tooth has finally come out, with a little help from Abuela. She looks so different with out her tooth and she has a bit of a lisp now, but I think its cute. She was excited to put her tooth in her little tooth treasure box, that she decorated herself, and even more excited to see what the Tooth Fairy would put in its place. She got 4 quarters and nothing made her happier this morning.

My "twothless" princess.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO man look at that face. Poor wee thing. I'm glad she was so happy to get her 4 quarters though.
I think I got 20c when my teeth fell out LOL

I don't do the tooth thing. We'll have to see if I can handle the wiggling better when it is my own girls...but whenever a kindergarten student would come proudly show me a loose tooth I insisted they "WAIT UNTIL YOU GET HOME!"
