Lost Tooth

A finally lost one of her top buck teeth.  It's been loose for a long time.  She started being excited about it, but then as it got in the way of her eating she started to freak out.  She didn't want me or her dad to touch it, however she didn't mind if one of the Kindergarten teachers at her school pulled it out because she heard she was a professional at pulling teeth.  It got to a point where her tooth was just dangling in the wind.  I decided to just leave her alone. 

One day, picking her up at school, I saw A with the Kindergarten teacher.  I looked at A and saw she lost her tooth.  The Kindergarten teacher looked at me and handed me over a small tooth.  I said thank you and grabbed Anne to congratulate her on another tooth gone!  However, I was getting kind of bothered at the thought that she would let someone else, other than her parents, pull her tooth out!  Geesh...

Just to let you know that her first two bottom teeth came out but never retrieved.  She might have eaten one while eating a bagel and the other was just lost at school somewhere so the good thing about this tooth is we actually have one to give the tooth fairy.  I thought the tooth fairy was very generous with the $2 she left under her pillow, however once A heard about her neighbor/classmate receiving $10 per tooth, she felt a little short changed.  Hmph.  I reminded her about the quarter I got for each tooth when I was her age and now she is saying that was how it was done in the "olden days". Got to laugh at that!

So watch out, the other upper tooth is loose and will be coming out soon.
