We had a momentous occasion very early this morning...
About 6:00 a.m. to be exact. (To be honest, I did hear Pearl yell "MOM!" but since she didn't come out of her room or squeal again, I stayed in bed.)
For weeks - WEEKS - now we've tried to convince Pearl to let us yank out her first tooth. It's been hanging in there by a single root forever! In fact, we were getting to the point that we were afraid she'd swallow it in her sleep it was so loose. Every night Jeff would attempt to trick her and push it out by brushing her teeth super hard or tying a string to it or flicking it or just plan ole distracting her while he tried to grab at it. He got this crazed look in his eye one night and told me he wanted to rip it out of there so bad...
There were many a tears shed over this. By all parties.
But finally. Finally today was the day! I have no idea what made Pearl get up the courage to pull it out but she did. And she was so excited! She even looked at the camera and smiled... crazy bedhead and all!
Now if we can just get the Tooth Fairy to remember to bring that dollar Pearl has been eagerly waiting for.
That's the same tooth K lost on Christmas Eve. These two are meant to be together!
