Well, Becca has been playing with her ‘wiggly’ tooth for a couple of weeks now. Yesterday, it REALLY was wiggly. I asked if she wanted my help, and she said that she did. I held the tooth and told her to move her head as much as she wanted to. She moved her head a bit, felt the pain, tasted the blood, and decided that it was better for nature to just take its course. Today, however, after pushing it around with her tongue all day, she got brave. She went right into the powder room, and after a few minutes of hesitation just ripped the darn thing right out. She was very surprised at how small it was.

So, I got to be the tooth fairy tonight. I wasn’t quite sure what the going rate for the first tooth was, so i figured five bucks would be OK. She’d better not expect five bucks every time, though. So, here’s Becca (and her trusty side kick Chloe) talking about her tooth.
