Over a week ago Blockette lost her first tooth. And when I say she lost her tooth, I mean I yanked it out. I didn't do this to be mean mom extraordinaire. It's genetic. My mom pulled out all but one of my loose teeth. (The only reason I pulled that one out was because I discovered it was loose when she wasn't home and wiggled it out in the course of an hour. I was determined!)Strangely, the first tooth lost was not the first loose tooth. The one next to it was lose several weeks before. It's still loose, but no where near ready to come out.
I think after a week the missing tooth has lost a bit of its novelty. She's no longer telling everyone she meets, just every other person.
No where near ready to come out? Hmmm. Here is the part where I eat my words. Sat night, as I am putting Blockette to bed, I peek in her mouth and see that the tooth is just dangling there. I was afraid she would swallow it in the night, so I did my parental duty and yanked that baby out too.
