If you get queasy like Mike from these pics, scroll on down.  Sorry!  These pictures were taken before we left Poppa and Rara’s house for the party barn last Saturday night, and Noelle’s tooth didn’t fall out until bedtime that night.  We decided to tie dental floss around it and pull, but Noelle was too scared to pull, so we tried to untie the dental floss but by that point, it had traveled up into the gums because there wasn’t much root left hanging out, so we couldn’t get up in there to get the dental floss untied without pulling the tooth.  We got in this predicament in the first place because we were trying to get her to pull her tooth out before bed because it was so loose we were scared that she was going to choke on it during the night.  At whit’s end, I finally grabbed the string (truly without thinking) and barely pulled.  It just popped out and she didn’t feel a thing or even realize it had happened.  In the minutes right before that, we felt so stuck.  That was no fun!  She got extra money from the tooth fairy and goodies from the Easter bunny the next morning, so she was a happy camper.  She was just fine the moment she realized the tooth (and tied up dental floss) were out, and that’s when I lost it, and she had to hug me!  Haha… my baby’s growing up and every step of the way, I’m so sentimental!
