We were beginning to wonder if this day would ever come......it did, but not in the way we thought it would. For weeks (and weeks, and weeks) we have been "wishful wiggling" one of Katey's teeth and it just didn't seem ready........or at least ready enough to give it a good yank! This morning, we were lying around in bed and Katey grabbed her pillowcase with her teeth. I told her to "get that out of your mouth" and I yanked it away. She looked at me kind of funny and I said "did your tooth just come out?" We both looked down and there it was sitting on the pillow. It was so tiny that I thought it had broken off mid-yank, but upon further review, the whole thing came out.......it just seemed so tiny all alone. Then Katey got big tears in her eyes and I was so afraid she was in pain. I asked her if she was and she said, "no, I'm just happy!" Awwwwwwww!!!! She is thrilled with the stuffed tooth fairy that I gave her (look closely at her little bag and you'll see "the" tooth!) and can't wait to go to bed tonight.......might be even more thrilled to go to school and finally be a member of the jack-o-lantern club!!!
