The first and second & third lost teeth!

Paige has been dreaming about loosing her teeth for years!  And finally she had a loose tooth.  However, she had to have a molar pulled because of an infection underneath it before the front one came out.   So she had a visit from the tooth fairy twice in one week.  And then a week or two later her second front tooth fell out.  It was quite a a whirlwind around here.   However, the real news is how the two front tooth came out.  The first one was super loose and she had been playing with it for a while.  We were talking about pulling it out so she started pulling and twisting herself.  But after a little bit she headed to the park, where she proceeded to pull it out, herself!  She came home bleeding but so happy.   A few weeks later the one next to it was loose.  She pulled it out herself again, this time during church.  Thank GOD my parents were working in Children's ministry that morning.   Sometimes she can be such a girl, but this time she was a rock star.  I don't know any other girls who just pull out their own loose teeth.  I have memories of my dad pulling out mine while I was whining the whole time. 

The tooth fairy brought her $5 for her first tooth and $1 for each tooth after.   We put the tooth in the tooth pillow I made and put under her pillow.  We also place a clear glass with water next to her bed.  In the morning there is $ in the pillow and the water is a different color.  Rumor has it that the color of the water is the color of the tooth fairy's dress.  Paige loves it!
