Double or nothing


A few weeks ago we were encouraging C to rip out a tooth that has been loose for at least 2 months. Finally it was only hanging on by a thread (or whatever holds our teeth in place), and sticking straight out. I just couldn't take it and she wouldn't let me pull it. I encouraged her to move it around until it came loose. She went to bed with it still not removed and came out distraught about 20 minutes later. Turns out that she ripped out the tooth next to the super loose tooth (don't worry it was almost ready to come out as well). This resulted in a fair amount of blood which freaked her out. I ripped (gently pulled - it didn't need much coaxing) out the other tooth the next day. So, the tooth fairy made a double night visit. She still has a card under her pillow for the tooth fairy and the next time she visits. (She thinks a note is part of the deal and why shouldn't it be??)
