Smile and say “Cheese!”

On Friday night, we experienced a loss in our household – the first of its kind! Big C’s first lost tooth! It’s been loose for several weeks, and I’ve been dreading it. For all the terrifically gross things I do on a day-to-day basis, there is no way I can pull teeth. I absolutely cannot. So I look to Brian, who has trouble maintaining consciousness at most any event with the potential for blood…but he came through with brilliance on Friday when Big C came to me and showed me that little pearl, sitting in its place, just ready to be set free.

I held her tightly and Brian did a little wiggling front to back, and out it came. She was thrilled, I don’t even think she felt any pain. The Tooth Fairy came and delivered $3 in exchange for this tiny little tooth!
