It's out!

Finally. The tooth that was hanging on by who-knows-what is OUT. Courtesy of me.

"Eva, let me just see if I can give that tooth a wiggle."

"Ok.....but just a little wiggle."

-yank-

"AAAAOuch, mom! That wasn't a little wiggle!!!!!"

"You are right, but look what I have here!!"

She was so delighted to finally have her paws on that little tooth that I was instantly pardoned for my yankiness.

The smile you see here hasn't left yet- and it has been a few days now. Yesterday when she enthusiastically recanted the story, she described it this way: "mom pulled it out, and it didn't even hurt at all!"

That makes me feel better. I guess time heals all wounds...

Yes, and of course, the Tooth Fairy did not disappoint. Eva was quite excited about her dollar for about 5 minutes and then decided to give it to Owen to help him "feel better."

I am thinking the concept of money hasn't quite sunk in yet....either that or she loves her brother oodles.
