Casey Loses A Front Tooth

This picture is for Renisa, this is before the 2nd tooth falls out. I better tell you the story behind this one. I will warn you that it may be long. A few months ago at daycare, Casey and a little boy were playing, Casey started tickling the little boy and he kicked her in the mouth. thus knocking a tooth loose. Now this is a baby tooth, so I am not worried that much about it. Well for months she has wiggled this tooth and dodged biting with this tooth. Well a couple of weeks ago, this tooth started to wiggle a little more, and Eric and I thought that it might be ready to come out. Well, Casey throws a fit and won't let you touch the tooth. So it starts to turn crooked, and she gets this gap between her other teeth and this one on one side. Well this past weekend, Lacy's party, the other tooth loosens. So I was for sure that it is ready to come out. Nope, Casey baby's these two teeth, because it will hurt if she pulls the teeth out. Well, this tooth starts sticking out toward her lips, and I told her she looked like she had bubba teeth. Well, yesterday, Eric and me decide that we are going to talk Casey into pulling this loose tooth. So we get some floss and tie it in a knot around the tooth and let Casey pull on the strings. Well she tugs very little on it might I add. So we challenged her, and said, Let's see how many times you have to pull the string to get the tooth out. Well, it took 16. And she wasn't daring to try the other tooth. So the picture above is of her with one tooth gone and the one that is still there is the one that has been loose for months. She did get $2 from the tooth fairy, and she is proud that she pulled her tooth out. I told her that she really needed to pull the other one out now, because it just looks funny. :)
