She has been working on it a while--actually it was January at her last checkup when the dentist mentioned it was starting to feel loose as she flossed it.Amara has been wiggling it and wiggling it. I was googling around for tips to help kids, and read something about twisting--so as we were cleaning up last night, she did that and it got REALLY loose.
After fiddling with it all day, she came running up to my room around 4 and it was super loose--like to the point I could see the underneath of the tooth on one side. She sat here with me--i could tell she was kind of scared, and we just worked through it. Sure enough she pulled it all by herself. She was running around screaming and showing daddy and calling the grandparents and taking pictures!
I am just so proud of her that she did it herself. She's got such confidence anyway, but now she trusts me that it doesn't hurt and she knows she can do one more thing herself too. She wants to take it to show Ms. Sarah tomorrow, then it'll go in the pillow for the tooth fairy tomorrow.
Her toothy grin is just adorable.
