Toothless grin (UPDATED)

The tooth fairy has been so busy visiting the Schools lately that she asked Santa to spot her a dollar at Christmas time for the last tooth. I think she knew she would be back very soon. Jujube has been working on this tooth, wiggling it back and forth, side to side. When I picked her up from a birthday party she told me that it was time. The tooth was "hanging" and she was ready for me to pull it. Honestly it was hanging on by a thread. Dang near felt like a steel cable. It wouldn't budge and I ended up scaring and hurting my poor Jujube. She wouldn't let me touch it even though I dangled ice cream and popsicles before her, but bravely followed my instructions on how to rotate it to loosen it more. Then I pulled my sneak just-want-to-see-but-quickly-yank-it maneuver. Came out in a snap. She was crying and I was clapping over the excitement of her toothless cuteness. The replacement is already moving in. Toothless grin. It doesn't get any better than this.
(UPDATE) The pro for losing 2 front teeth: a new skill....whistling. Jujube wanted me to tell y'all that.

I LOVE that toothless grin. As much as I love your Walmart story. And you know how I love stories like that....

Ok - Love, love, love the toothless grin. But for the record, you're going to have to come over and help me when it's time to yank out a Corena tooth. I just about passed out reading this blog.

For the record - Corena is going to be extremely jealous of Jujube's toothless grin. She is dieing to lose a tooth.
