Isabel's New Smile

This is a video of Shaun pulling out Isabel's First Tooth!  I wish I wrote down the exact date, but I do know that it was in February. 

She woke up so excited when you opened up her tooth pouch and saw what the "tooth fairy" gave her.  Shaun and I both agreed that the first tooth warranted an actual silver dollar.  My plan was to give her a silver dollar for each tooth she lost, but can you believe they don't make them anymore!  You have to buy them on eBay or specialty coin stores.  Luckily Shaun had a whole bunch in his collection from somewhere, I can't remember where, that we were able to give her.

Right before bed she got out her paper and pencil and started writing.  I was curious what she was doing, and she said she wanted to write the tooth fairy a note.

this was what I wrote back to her in response.

Since the first tooth as of the last week in April Izzy has lost a total of 4 teeth!

The top two came out just fine.  It was the bottom two that had us and her dentist concerned.  Her adult teeth had popped through the gum BEHIND her baby teeth.  The Right side came loos and popped out no problem, but the Left side was stubborn.  She had to constantly wriggle and wriggle that baby till it became loose enough for us to pop out.  The first tooth she was all excited, but towards the fourth one she was miserable.  It was just very painful for her when she would try to eat her food.  She had to eat, sticking the food in sideways in order to tear off pieces.  It was the worst for her right when the tooth were the loosest and every bite was painful.  Once we pulled them out, all was fine.
