Finally! About three weeks ago you discovered you had a lil wiggler down in front. Not being keen on putting a finger in your mouth and wiggling it, fear keeping you from allowing me to check it out during the day, we had to designated 5 wiggles three times a day to keep tabs on that lil dangler. So, three weeks...that sucker was nearly sticking straight forward and in the end it was the all encompassing Hoosier desire for buttery sweet corn in the month of July that swayed you to rip it out on your own. Sitting at the lunch table you begged for me to cut the corn off the cob, seeing an opportunity, I said to just get that tooth out already. I asked if you'd like me to help. You screamed, "NO!" I gave you a napkin and you grabbed at it, whining that you were scared. We told you to do what you wanted, but if you closed your eyes and grabbed it you would have it out in no time. We acted as if we were ignoring you for a minute to give you space. The three of us watched from the corner of our eyes... You took a deep breath, squinched your eyes up all tight and secure and took that napkin and pulled, pulled and pulled. BAM! You declared, "I GOT IT! It is out!" You were very excited! but had a sort of mixed expression of freak out and happiness. To cheer or to cry.
You were particularly excited that she left the letter covered in fairy dust, which I caught you later picking off and sprinkling over your head in some sort of ritual spell you would not tell me of the details. Exiting times ahead as #2 is not far behind. You make everything so sweet and special. What a way to get ready to start school.
Love, Mama
