It's Out!

I thought we had a few more years on this, but it has already happened! I've been so slack after our computer died on keeping up with blogging. The loss of three months of photos has been disheartening, but onward we go! Last week, Natalie kept complaining of a loose tooth. One of her favorite stories is Berenstain Bear's Visit the Dentist, so she was glad to know that Sister Bear had already gone through this before. She kept wiggling, we wiggled from time to time (until she said it hurt). She finally was afraid to eat because she was scared it would come out. But, for the most part she was very brave. Most of this past week I have seen her like this...
And, since sister was running around with her mouth open, Nicole also wanted everyone to look at her mouth!

Well, today was the day. We were outside in the yard and for some reason I had Natalie show me her mouth. I said, "This tooth is just barely there..." and it came out! I had to quickly have her reopen her mouth because I was afraid she would swallow it, but she didn't. It is now safely in the tooth fairy pillow, awaiting the changeout for the money!

It did bleed a bit, which I had forgotten. I can only remember getting the dentist to take out needed teeth for space and wisdom teeth in my memories of my own teeth. I never remember any pain or blood, but Natalie assured me there was some pain before it was ready to come out.

Well, bye bye tooth! Can't believe Natalie is getting her second set of teeth...she is getting big (sniff!).
