She finally lost it!

friday night, the kids were brushing their teeth for bed....gabby came to daddy with her mouth open wide, "what's this?"....daddy checked it out, "goodness girl, it's your grown up tooth trying to come in behind your loose tooth!"

gabby then came to me, "mommy look!"....i took a look in gabrielle's mouth too, "honey, we have to get that loose tooth out so the grown up tooth has room to grow in"

she thought about it for a second, and nodded her head slowly in agreement.....almost as if she thinking like me - what a great excuse to finally let mommy go for it! i had asked her several times since our first try, to let me try again - but she's been too scared.....flinching, if i even try to wiggle it

i ripped a papertowel off the roll and seized the opportunity before she had a chance to change her mind.....using my thumb, i pulled down the tooth in one swift motion.....pop! out it came, right into my hand

i immediately looked into her eyes, fully expecting to see tears.....instead, she asks "did you get it?!"

i laughed, "yep, here it is!"

she was so excited! what a big girl!!!
