Karis has been waiting a long time to lose her first tooth. Most of her friends have already lost a few. After her last dentist visit, we realized one of her teeth was starting to wiggle. She waited and waited... and wiggled it and wiggled it... and asked for whole apples in hopes of speeding up the process. Finally, it was getting pretty lose. Even though she couldn't wait to lose her tooth, every time we talked about pulling it out, she would get giddy and squeamish.
We weren't sure if the tooth was ready to be pulled, so we called Halbogi because he pulled out all of Mommy's teeth. He said we should pull it out! I tied dental floss around her tooth and pulled, but the waxy, flat floss just slipped right off. Even though the tooth didn't come out, it made it really loose and it was now definitely ready to come out.
Karis wanted to wait until the next day to have her tooth pulled at school. That way, she could get a little treasure box for her tooth from the nurse. Her kindergarten teacher is known as the Tooth Fairy since she has pulled countless teeth at school. All the kids love getting her teeth pulled by her!
The next morning, I took her last picture with her baby tooth.
And then a couple hours later, I received this picture from her teacher.
A picture of her tooth before the tooth fairy took it away and left her a dollar bill.
And now I have to get used to her new look!
Good thing she's still super cute with one less tooth.
