The Tooth!

Skylar's two front teeth have both been loose forever. The left started wiggling first but the right quickly took over in the race to come out first. The last week or so it's kind of taken on this distorted placement and isn't able to go back into place. It was kind of just hanging there and not going anywhere. Finally, Ben & I were fed up with it and convinced Skylar to do the old string on the door trick to get it out. Here's how it went:

So it's finally out! Whoohoo! Just in time too because the reason that it wouldn't go back into place was because the adult tooth is practically a fourth of the way out! Skylar is ecstatic with the new space in her mouth that accommodates a straw. She was also so ecstatic about the tooth fairy coming that she woke up at 5:30 this morning! Apparently, the tooth fairy had taken the tooth but left nothing under her pillow. After she & Nick sufficiently searched their bedroom and had also sufficiently woken the entire family up before 7 (way too early for us!!) we finally found the loot under her bed in the corner! Let's just say last night's tooth fairy (and I'm not mentioning his name!) may be out of a job for future tooth exchanges!
