First Tooth is Out!

Kiera really, really wanted this tooth to come out, and I don't think she would have gone to school if it wasn't out. She wanted to use her tooth for show and tell.

I confess, I'm a little squeamish when it comes to yanking these things out, so I was going to let Dawna handle the duties. However, Dawna couldn't get a hold of the tooth, so I pulled out (pun intended) one of my Dad's tricks.

I took a strand of dental floss, tied a hog noose on the tooth, and yanked. It popped right out. Kiera didn't cry or anything. She flinched a bit, but I know it hurt just slightly. However, that hurt was overcome immediately with the excitement that she now held the tooth in her hand.

Off to show and tell! Now, for my family and friends...the "Tooth Fairy" may be hitting some of you up for a loan. Do you realize how many teeth three kids have?
