Emma Kate has had a second loose tooth for quite a while. She's been wiggling and wiggling as well as having me get the floss out to try to loosen it up.Yesterday it became so loose that it was sticking out like this....
So this morning when Philip left for work, he told her that it was coming out today. He said I could pull it or she could pull it, but one way or the other today was the day.I tried numerous times today but the patient was not being very cooperative. So far, she is the toughest child we have. She rarely cries when she gets hurt. But this tooth-pulling event, made her ALMOST cry (which for her means tears start to well up in her eyes and she quickly wipes her face to make it all red and splotchy)
Daddy came home from work and the tooth still wasn't out. He made a suggestion of trying to pop it backwards rather than forward as we'd been doing....and voila, it instantly came out!
Yea for our Daddy! She's a much happier girl now.
