Jaelyn didn't even have a loose tooth when she woke up today. Now she is missing one. At about 1630 this afternoon Jaelyn pulled a funny face at me and I noticed that she had a tooth growing in behind her baby teeth on the bottom. When I told her that she would need to go to the dentist tomorrow to have it pulled, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Yes, she started frantically wiggling that little tooth until she loosened it up. Then as you can see her Dad (who is the most patient man in the world might I add) spent 1.5 hours of quality time with her while she came up with ideas of how to get the tooth out, peed at least 6 times and kept saying, "why am I shaking so much". I just had to leave them alone to figure it out. In the end, it was Rog pinning her down on the kitchen floor and pulling it out. She was relieved to have the whole ordeal over with, as were we. She was rewarded with a brownie and ice cream - her favorite!
Now that new permanent tooth has room to stretch out. I was shocked when two of Jaelyn's friends that are her age (within weeks) started loosing teeth a few months ago. I was thinking we had a couple of years. Jaelyn keeps saying, "I thought that I would lose my teeth when I was 10". My response, "Oh honey, you still will be." Poor kid!
Here is the box (with tooth inside) that Jae left for the tooth fairy. The note is asking that the tooth fairy please leave the tooth so that she can show it to her Grandma tomorrow. We will see. What is the going rate for a baby tooth anyway?

Roger, you should have been a dentist! ;-) Way to get that tooth out! I'm going to have to ask Mark about that one. I didn't think kids started loosing their teeth until 7 or 8 either. I hope the tooth fairy paid up! How fun!
