Dear Toothfairy: Welcome to our family!

Emmalee has had some pretty loose teeth and has been playing with them constantly, one in particular. I told her that some people tie a string to the tooth and the other end of the string to a doorknob, slam the door and the tooth comes out. She actually wanted to try it! I really didn't think she would so I set it all up thinking that she would want to stop. She stood up, covered her eyes, and said she was ready. Well, I just couldn't do it! I told Blake to do it but he didn't understand slamming the door. So I shut the door, but not hard enough. I thought she would be done but she was still standing there waiting. So I shut it again, a little bit harder, and it popped out! She didn't even cry!! We went to the bathroom, cleaned up the blood, and looked at her prize. She loves sticking her tongue through the hole. Our first tooth out with several more to go!

Here's the fabulous teeth pulling device.


A little closer shot.

And it's gone!

Happy toothless girl!

Haha! I love that you did that. I don't know if I could have slammed the door either. That is funny she sat there and wanted it done. Fun times!

I think it's hilarious that you tried to get Blake to do it. She was so brave. Did you close your eye's when you closed the door?
