Missing Teeth

About 2 months ago our little lady let us know that she had her first loose tooth. This was very exciting for her, yet terrifying. Brinley loved wiggling it almost non-stop. However, she really did not like it when I would attempt to grab it and pull it out. About a week worth of wiggling it and I decided that it was time to get that thing out. She was scared but said that I could try to pull it out. We were sitting on the couch and I reached in and a quick tug later it was out. She didn't even realize that I had got it out so I didn't say anything immediately. I asked her if she was ok and she asked if I got it. I opened up my hand and showed her the tooth. Then she was ecstatic. She couldn't wait to put the tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy. 

Look at that new smile! Happy to have lost her first tooth.

This girl has some tiny teeth. I really had trouble even getting my fingers around the little thing.

Thankfully mommy was able to whip up a little something for Brinley to put her tooth in. She put it in this glittery box and then inside the little bag that mommy made with some scrap materials she had around the house.

We debated quite a while about how much to give for the first tooth. We thought $10 would be enough that she would be excited about it. We even threw some glitter to make it a little more special. She was definitely happy the next morning when she woke up and found the money. She ran into our room and said that she got $10!  

Not long after losing that first tooth she informed us that she had another loose one. After about a week of wiggling it we decided that it was time for this one to come out. When she finally got up the courage for me to try to pull it I reached in and pulled it out without her even knowing. She sure was happy afterwards though! You can even see the new front bottom tooth coming in beside it.

Look at that smile! She was so happy.

Aunt Andrea and Uncle Chris came to visit a little before Brinley's birthday and this Tooth Fairy bag was one of her gifts from them. It has a little pouch on the back to put her tooth in. It is also personalized with her name on the back of it. Pretty cute little tooth. This time she got what looks to be the going rate for a tooth, which was $5. She was still super happy with that!

I am so glad that I got to help her get both of her teeth out. I hopefully turned what could have been a very scary event into a very calm and positive experience. She can't wait until she has another loose one and her brother is excited about the possibility of losing some too! Thanks for reading and God bless!
