"I need some tooth pulling music"

Faith has had her first loose tooth for the past couple of weeks and today we opted to check on the progress. Joel told her that he'd pull it for her to which she said "no" and got teary-eyed (we were at breakfast at the time). On the way home, the big brothers were advising her on how to do it and how it's not too scary: Isaac suggested she push it down, twist, and then pull it out; Elijah suggested she get her fingernail under the edge and pull. Both were encouraging her to do it :>)

Joel suggested that she might need some "tooth pulling music" and turned on the radio. . . A while later we turned it off and continued the advice-giving. Faith then said, "I need some tooth pulling music" and Joel cranked up Linkin Park's "What I've done" and she pulled her tooth out! Bravest girl ever!! First tooth lost and she cracked me up to boot. :>)

You've got to admire that girl!

Side note: As Mommy - there's a part of me knowing that this is another milestone for my baby's growing up -- she's officially losing those baby teeth. Wow. (sigh.) A little sad. Still, very proud of her and amazed.
