After many weeks, if not a couple of months, Abigail finally lost her first tooth! She was so anxious to get the very loose, wiggly tooth out and to our surprise, she even asked if we would pull it! Now, if you know Abigail, you know that she is a little timid and does not handle pain very well, much like her mother, so we were so shocked when we practically begged us to pull her tooth! We tried for two nights and neither of us could get a good hold on the teeny, tiny little tooth and Abigail was frustrated. She wanted her visit from the Tooth Fairy and she wanted her name on the "First Tooth Lost" chart at school, very important things to a five year old!
Finally, this afternoon, after Nana tried a few times to pull it out, I was able to get hold of the tooth with a napkin and gave it two good pulls. On the second pull, it popped out! At first Abigail was a little startled and started to cry, but as quickly as she started she stopped and then ran to look at her new smile. She was so impressed with the gaping whole that now was part of her smile and we were teary-eyed at just how big our little girl is getting!
