Backtracking just a little...on January 5th Joey finally lost the tooth! It was hanging by a thread in his mouth for so long and he wouldn't let us touch it. He would cry and be very upset if we wanted to try to get it out. So in an effort not to traumatize him, we left it alone.
On this night he had agreed to let me get a piece of tissue and see if I could get a good grip on it. (Before this Jess was trying to use pliers. Joey did NOT like that.) So I realized that with a little tug I could get it. I didn't warn him and I just did a little pull. He gasps with bigger than usual eyes and grabs his mouth. I'm just sitting there with a smile holding his little tooth in my hand.
He was happy. We were happy. The Tooth Fairy didn't disappoint either. She paid out $2 and she left the tooth! I guess she knew I was hoping to put it in his scrapbook. So that's the story of how I pulled my first tooth! Thanks Joey!!!
