What is it with children and their failure to understand the English language when it comes to pulling teeth? You can tell them over and over that it will not hurt when it comes time to pull the tooth, but they scream, cry, yell and hide. We have a 5 year old who is about to lose her first tooth and she has become irrational. She was already a drama queen, but she has exceeded my vocabulary about this tooth. The tooth in question is very loose, not quite ready to pull, but we have been encouraging her to wiggle it and get it ready.........The photo is an example of her showing us how far it wiggles now. This is the most pitiful face ever. I am beginning to wonder if the Tooth Fairy will ever get to visit......

I had the same problem with Emily, and while I was talking to her about it, guess who called? The Tooth Fairy. I had a short conversation with her about needing to know if she needed to squeeze Em into her schedule. She needed to know by 3, and it was 2:45. We hung up, and Em's tooth was out in 5 seconds! I had to call the Tooth Fairy back and let her know to be sure to visit Em.
Heather,
Good idea. Are you willing to wear a fairy hat?
Funny thing about the tooth fairy... Emily came home yesterday afternoon crying cause her loose tooth hurt and she didn't want to pull it cause it would hurt worse! I almost snagged a picture of her, but she flat out refused. Anyway, the tooth finally came out, but the tooth fairy didn't have any cash on hand. Now Em thinks the tooth fairy forgot all about her!
