It Came Out!!

Courtney has been DYING to have her tooth fall out. She wiggled it all the time and the tooth under it broke through the skin, but still the tooth hung on. Ethan loves to pull teeth. He pulls all his own teeth and has been trying to help Courtney get her tooth pulled. A couple of times he has tried to get it out but it wouldn't come.

Tonight, after FHE and treats, Courtney had enough of her wiggly tooth. Ethan got a piece of gauze, Courtney sat on his bed, and he began in earnest to get her tooth out. He pushed it one way and it started bleeding. He pushed it another way and it bled some more. Courtney said it didn't hurt at all. Ethan bunched up the gauze one more time, put his fingers around her tooth, pulled and...POP (really, it sounded like a "pop" and was pretty gross!)...out it came.

Courtney was so excited!! She said it didn't hurt at all and Ethan was so proud of himself. Again, I think he should become a doctor because he loves doing stuff like that and it doesn't make him queasy.

Courtney and I immediately went downstairs to make her a tooth bag so the tooth doesn't get lost and the Tooth Fairy can find it easier. She is so excited!! Finally, she lost a tooth!!
