Toothless Cinderella

Tooth number six is gone.  And it is her second top to tooth to lose.  She is growing up.  :) / :(

Toothless McGee

Cinderella lost tooth #5 and her first one on top today.  Bye bye baby teeth.

Snaggletooth McGee

Yesterday, we decided it was time...Notice anything different?

 How about now?

 Cinderella lost her first tooth!  Here she is putting her tooth in her Tooth Fairy pillow she got for Christmas.

I added a link for the pillow as I got comments and emails asking me about it.  :)

 Here she is today with her treasure:

 Sisters being silly...

Snaggletooth McGee is still as gorgeous as ever. 

Toothy Drama

Cinderella is entering one of the many "awkward" stages of growing up.  Being almost six and a half years old she is all arms, legs and knees.  She is also hitting the Tooth Fairy Stage.  Or she should be entering the stage of losing her baby teeth for her adult teeth...


That is, if she'd just let us pull that sucker.  It's been about two weeks since we noticed that her bottom right tooth was flapping in the breeze.  It really is hanging on by a thread.   It is beyond my comprehension how it is even still in her mouth.  It defies all rules and theories.  Her baby tooth is out of alignment, more so by the day.  She complains of pain.  Well, yeah, you have two teeth that want the same spot.  


Tonight the drama began.  Or continued, rather.  We are sick of it.  She is complaining that her tooth is hurting because the new tooth has nowhere to go.  Yet, she won't pull it out or let us pull it out.  She won't even let us talk about pulling it out.  She runs screaming into the night.  I wish this was one of those times I was being dramatic, but I am not.  This is straight up how it is here in the Crazy Household and dare I say I want out right now.


I promise you this is the last thing one thinks about when expecting a baby.  I thought about who she'd look like, her personality traits, what she may like or dislike.  I even thought about her future husband and prayed for him and his parents and other odds and ends but losing baby teeth never really entered my mind.  I think I dread all of this as much as she does.  May the force be with us...


Any takers on how long this tooth will remain in my princess Cinderella's head?  :)  Any helpful hints or techniques from parents who have been there and done that?  Please?  

Any Day Now...

Any day now Cinderella will lose her first baby tooth.  It is her bottom right and you can even see the new tooth trying to push it out of the way.  I have pulled teeth that were in there better than this one when I was a kid but it is her first and she is nervous so we aren't pushing it.  The photo on the left of the two girls was weird.  I wanted a picture of Cinderella because I didn't know how long we'd have before she became Snaggle Tooth McGee and she opened her mouth wide for the picture.  ?! And of course Sleeping Beauty had to be in it too.  (She is so tiny!!)

See the tooth trying to poke through?  I took these a week ago and the tooth is still there. We watched "Tooth Fairy" with The Rock in it and she and her sister loved it.  They laughed so hard.  At one point I said very sarcastically, "The Tooth Fairy looks a lot like Mary Poppins."  (It IS Julie Andrews AKA Mary Poppins).  Cinderella said, "Yeah...but Mary Poppins doesn't have wings."


Wow.
