Twinkle Tooth!!!

Ellie's first loose tooth has been hanging by a thread for what seems like months!!!  She wiggled and wiggled it but it just wouldn't budge!

Daddy tried pulling it out with his hands but that just freaked her out. . .

(freaked out face!)

Today, on Ellie's first day back at school after Spring Break, it finally fell out!!!!!  Hooray Ellie!!  Ellie said she'd been absentmindedly wiggling it (as usual!) during class and her friend, Annie, came by passing out papers and said, "Hey, Ellie, your tooth fell out!"   And there was the tooth, sitting Ellie's lip!   What a story!! Mrs. Cox (the First Grade tooth pulling expert, by the way!), taped it to a fun certificate for Ellie to take home.

She looks so grown up with that big gap in her bottom teeth!!  Our sweet little girl!!!

Ellie's certificate (note the tooth taped to the chipmunk's mouth!).  Ellie went STRAIGHT to bed tonight, sooo excited about the tooth fairy's arrival, her tooth tucked safely in a special tooth fairy box.   (And she wrote a note to the tooth fairy asking if she'd please leave the tooth for her mommy to keep -- so thoughtful, she knows Mommy's having a hard time with this big milestone.)
