C Lost Another Tooth!

c lost her third tooth this past weekend. this tooth is special because it's her first upper tooth she's lost. i think it makes her look so cute! and she's very happy with her cute look! of course it didn't come without the usual freaking out she does every time she looses a tooth. but i guess most kids would freak out with the sight of blood coming from their own mouths. it happened while she was eating. she took a bite of her food and it became so loose that it was just dangling by a piece of her gums. she was running around screaming and crying with her mouth open and blood spreading around her gums and teeth. it was a sight to see! i tried to calm her down and asked her if she would like me to help by pulling it off. she said 'no' but she approached me anyway. i guess she really wanted to get it over with but was afraid of the pain. i got a piece of paper towel and took hold of the dangling tooth and when she freaked out and started running, it was all over! soon after it was pulled out she was fine, again. i chuckle even now as i remember the events! but i do feel bad that she was so scared. i'm sure it will get easier as she continues to lose her baby teeth.

this is her tooth fairy pillow i made for her in late fall, when i first found out she had a loose tooth and she would soon be losing her first tooth. i made it using crafty carnival's tutorial. it was a very easy tutorial to follow and my daughter loved the cute tooth stuffie.

i made both the pillow and tooth stuffie because i wasn't sure when she would lose her tooth. so i thought that the stuffie would be a good idea to keep in her backpack. it has a heart pocket on the back so that she could stick her tooth in it. c loves her tooth stuffie and pillow and she carries one or the other around with her as soon as she thinks she might be losing her next tooth.
