Toothless Wonder and "Daddy & Me"

The Tooth Fairy has been rather busy lately at our house. At the end of January, Brooke discovered her front tooth was loose. Now, for Brooke, this discovery means that there is work to be done. We have never seen a wiggly tooth dangling from Brooke's mouth because she absolutely will not let it get that far. As soon as she discovers it, she immediately sets to work to remove it. Usually late at night, she wiggles and twists and twists and wiggles. This process can take a few nights. Finally, around 9:30 one night, she emerged from her bedroom reporting that her tooth was loose enough to come out. I felt it and didn't think it was quite ready to pull without some obvious work. But, she would not be turned down. Taking a kleenex, she wrenched and twisted, popped and cracked untill POP - "I GOT IT!" she exclaimed in triumph!
I've never seen anything like it. She is determined...I'll give her that.

On the night that first front tooth came out, she learned that the other front one was slightly loose as well. The countdown began and within four days, Brooke had that one out too. She is still waiting on a bottom tooth to come in and now she is missing both front teeth. Needless to say, eating an apple is a challenge. "All she wants for Easter is her three front teeth...."

Lastly, today was "Daddy & Me" day at Brooke's pre-school. She has been looking forward to it so much. I am glad Alex could take time out of his chaotic and demanding schedule to go with her. She loves her daddy dearly.
