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?  

21st Century Kids

The gals having a mini sleepover* and they each have a video game.  :)

*A mini sleepover is when the girls act like Sleeping Beauty will stay all night in there but then Cinderella gets tired of her little sister's chattering and they go their own way.  :)

Summer Fun

 

Crazies.  Sisters.  This was the best they could give me for a picture.

Sleeping Beauty cheering on Cinderella:

Look at Sleeping Beauty go!

Silly Cinderella

Crazy Sleeping Beauty.  She is soooo fast I couldn't catch her with the camera when she was jumping in!

She may be little but that girl can swim!

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.

It's Rough Being Little

And it is also hard having only girl cousins!  ;)  Little Prince (my sister's son) has my two girls and then three more girl cousins on his dad's side of the family.

To say he is adored is an understatement.  They already have fun together and love one another completely.

Little Prince said, "There was cake and NO ONE told ME?!"

I think he was being made to kiss Sleeping Beauty's hand here:

Oooh.  Holding hands.  Look at his hair!!

He was starting to get a little upset:

3.....
2........
1........

Angry baby boy!  ;)  The HORROR!

I said when I took these back in May they'd make us all laugh one day.  I already am.  :)  Maybe one of the girls told him there WAS cake and they had some and he didn't!  ;)  He is adorable no matter what face he is making.  :)
