Lucy Goosey lost her Toothy(s)!

My big girl has lost her first tooth! I had to wait a whole week to make the announcement because she wanted to surprise Poppy and Granny when we saw them on Saturday.

But now that the cat is out of the bag, here is the story. Her permanent teeth were already coming in and we needed to get those baby teeth out. We had been wiggling and wiggling for over a week. Chris and I tried to convince her to tie a string around it and let us pull it out. Then we tried to get her to pull it herself. We even tried an apple and a starburst. Nothing was working, but that little baby tooth was just hanging by a thread. Super Mom to the rescue... I had to finally "pull" it out. It was a little traumatic for all of us, but in the end she was so proud of herself.

The tooth fairy came by and left a treat and even a little fairy dust behind! Lucy was so excited!

So today, she lost the second one. It came out with a lot less drama but just as much excitement. She ran right up stairs and put it in the pillow. As we were saying goodnight, she was already asking what the tooth fairy might bring this time and if I thought she would leave any more fairy dust.

If you can tell in the picture above she has one more little tooth hanging out in the middle by itself. It is barely hanging in there and I am betting it will be out by the end of the week. Her permanent teeth are already coming in and look ginormous compared to the baby ones.

I feel like a broken record, but what happened to my babies. It seems like life is speeding by at light speed and I am barely able to keep up. It is such a gratifying ride, but can't it just slow down for a bit??

Hoping for fairy dust,
