Toothless

Sydney is 7 and half and has not lost a single tooth. This has really been a big deal. Her friends have lost multiple teeth and in 2nd grade, they don't always have a tooth loss chart like they did in first and kinder. We were very excited when she actually discovered her first loose tooth! Then another one was loose and soon her front top and front bottom teeth were all loose! Then the tooth fairy talks began and she pretty much decided that all of her teeth needed to stay right where they were because she really didn't think she wanted the tooth fairy in her room and getting close to her. We tried to tell her that we could fix it so that she could leave her teeth another place, but she was not having it! She would not wiggle her teeth anymore, nope...they were staying forever. She did not care that she might get a dollar. She did not care that other people were losing teeth. Her teeth were staying put! Well, this morning we woke up and she showed me her tooth and it was as they say..."hanging by a thread"! It would not take much to get the tooth out. We got the cameras ready and Rob started to work on her. She was not happy and was a little scared. We started the video camera several times and stopped it. At one point, Rob got out his fishing pliers. It wasn't that it wouldn't come out...it was Syd closing her mouth when he was about to get it. Finally he had knocked it around and it was falling out. We got the cameras ready again and Whoopee! HE GOT IT OUT!
