An eventful evening

This evening, Elizabeth lost a tooth! It's not her first tooth. She had her first tooth pulled at the dentist. Turns out, she was quite stressed over losing this tooth because of having a tooth pulled. She was worried that it would hurt, that there would be lots of blood, that she wouldn't be able to eat. Here's the story in pictures.

She discovered that her loose tooth was REALLY loose. I attempted to do the dental floss trick, where you wrap dental floss around the base of the tooth and just pop it out. She was very nervous, kept jumping, and I eventually told her we weren't going to be able to keep doing that.
After a quick pop talk with Grand-Daddy, she decided she was ready for real. I told her I would try one more time, but she had to be still. And guess what happened.....


That little tooth came right out!
Such a brave girl.
Hopefully, losing the next tooth won't be as traumatic!

If you want to get really crazy... tie the floss around the tooth and tie the other end to a door knob, then slam the door! My little brother used to do that.

Congrats!
