Tooth Number 6

Our little Princess lost yet another tooth this weekend. This is the best Tooth Story yet. The Princess and the Prince begged to have a sleepover on Friday night. We complied because they love sleepovers and it was not a school night so it didn't mater if they kept each other up until after 10:00. They were up and down and up and down the stairs asking for water, cough medicine (neither have colds so that answer was no), and just in general trying to stall as best they could. We finally sent them up for what we thought would be the last time when about 15 minutes later they BOTH came down the stairs extremely excited. The Princess had lost another tooth. Now this MomOf3 keeps pretty close tabs on her kids' teeth. While the Princess's second top front tooth was loose, it was not nearly loose enough to pull out. After questioning both the Princess and the Prince we worked our way backwards to how that tooth had fallen out. The Prince and the Princess have sleepovers in the Prince's "chambers" since the Prince is not completely potty trained at night. They share a daybed. The Prince has the upper bed and the Princess has the lower trundle bed. Well, apparently, the Prince and the Princess started talking about the Princess's loose tooth and the Prince offered to pull it for her. I am not sure what possessed the Princess to accept this offer, but accept it she did! Taking his trusty Bubba in hand, the Prince had the Princess bite on said Bubba. Giving it a quick jerk, the Prince was able to extract the aforementioned loose tooth. The Prince was SO proud of himself. The Princess was happy to be able to anticipate another visit from the Tooth Fairy, and MomOf3 and DadOf3 looked at each other with relief that only one tooth had been extracted! Whew! What a night!

The Princess Looses Tooth Number 5!

The Princess came home with a surprise on Friday! She lost one of her top front teeth! What a big girl! This MomOf3 had been trying to get this tooth out for the last several days. Whenever it started to bleed, the Princess was no longer interested in pulling on it anymore. She ended up pulling out the tooth herself at school. She talked with one of her little friends on the bus on the way home and her friend told her to walk down the stairs of bus with her lips closed and then when she saw me to smile as big as she could. She did just that! How exciting! The Tooth Fairy ended up coming that night and was quite good to her, so she thought. She received $1 in quarters and some stickers. I heard her talking to the Prince on the way downstairs the next morning. She told the Prince that she was not happy about how the Tooth Fairy had left her "boy" stickers. The stickers were of The Incredibles. I guess the Tooth Fairy better get things straight! She didn't make that comment to me though. It is pretty amazing how losing one of the big front teethe makes this MomOf3 realize how fast her little Princess is growing up! She is almost done with her first year of Kindergarten. Time does fly! Soon it will be the Prince and the Knight.
