It is a very strange sensation to hold your child's tooth in your hand. Tangible evidence that they are growing up before your very eyes. Abby's front bottom tooth has been loose since before Elijah was born! At one point I asked Abby which one she thought would come out first...her tooth or the baby. I am sure glad I didn't have to wait for her tooth to come out to deliver the baby! We wiggled it, tried pulling it out with floss, cotton balls, even Spencer's leather-man. This afternoon I finally pulled it out with waxed string by twisting and pulling to the side all at the same time. It flew across the couch and we almost lost it. Abby was shocked and excited all in the same moment. It was fun. She called everyone she could think of to tell them her tooth came out. Here are pictures of the long awaited event:
