We've had some pretty exciting times lately.....
Miss Lily lost her first tooth and she couldn't be more excited!
She has been checking her teeth for MANY months now... just hoping that one would have a little wiggle. Well, we were in the car several weeks ago and here was our conversation....
Lily... This stinkin' tooth is driving me cookoo...
Me... Don't say stinkin'. I'll look at it when we stop.
Lily... Ok but I am about to lose my mind.
Me... We are almost there Lil.
Lily... OK... I'll try to wait.
I check the tooth and sure enough... it is loose.
Me... Lily, your tooth is loose!!!!!
Lily... What? Are you kidding me?
Me... No.. I am very serious..... it is loose!!!!
Lily... Oh my word... this is the best day ever!
Almost two weeks passed and the tooth was still in her mouth.
She wiggled it for days and then just got tired of the whole process and ignored it... she also decided if it was going to bleed she wasn't in a hurry to lose it.
One evening Jeff told her it was time to pull it and she decided SHE would do it HERSELF.
She sat in front of this mirror for quite a while... pulling and wiggling...
After about 30 minutes Jeff told her... You get 3 tries Lily and I get one....
Jeff's try was the winner and the tooth was out... she screamed, cried, and then laughed all at the same time.
Then she had to make some calls to share the news.
The next morning she couldn't wait to tell me what the tooth fairy left......
MOM... she left me green money and her business card.

No wonder you were teary. Where on earth does the time go? I love her little conversation, man, she is so funny! And what a brave girl letting her Dad pull that tooth out.
I remember my Dad threatening to pull mine, but I wouldn't let him near it! Haha!
So good to hear from you again!

Woo-hoo, first tooth! She looks very happy to have it out. I still remember wiggling loose teeth with my tongue for days, and the empty feeling when it was gone. And the happiness of a quarter (!!) left under the pillow.
Glad the pillow came in handy!
Miss Lily is growing up! What adorable pictures - and, she was very brave letting Dad pull it. I love her smile - she is beautiful with/or without a tooth. I cried when she called with the news- but I acted very excited. Love you Miss Lily.

A defining moment in Lily's life, losing her first tooth! Mike & I smiled and laughed & then cried when we saw our Lily as a baby. Seems like just yesterday!
