finally!

after a few days of that thing hanging from a (very strong) thread, it's OUT!  She came out of her room wild with excitement... laughing and part crying.  it was so cute.  Ben kept saying, "good job, ashlyn! great! now you are going to grow another tooth!"

I won't be able to show this to Sarah. She still hasn't lost her first tooth yet. She's got two that are very loose and have been loose for some time, but won't budge. The other day the dentist said she'd pull it for her, the loosest one, if she wanted. Thought she was tempted, she said no...that she'd let nature take it's course.

Not only did Ashlyn lose her top tooth today, but one of Sarah's good friends that moved away to Iowa last year lost the same tooth today! Two in one day might be too much for her, lol.

How many does that make Ashlyn has lost already? Isn't it like four already? Man, Sarah is behind.

Half laughing/half crying, that was almost always your reaction to a tooth that had finally come out. I think you were pretty squeamish about your own teeth wiggling around and you certainly didn't like the fact that blood was involved when they came out. You were very happy when it was finally all out and there would be money under your pillow in the morning:).

Yay Ashlyn! Aren't the younger siblings comments so cute? Marah is like that too and i love it when she says "good job jenna! I'm so proud of you." so adorable :)

Jenna freaks out when a tooth comes out. She freaks about the smallest amount of blood, so a tooth is pretty scary to her! It's really not fun for me either, takes me a long time to get her to calm down :)

Good job Ashlyn! That's hilarious!

Losing teeth looks and sounds so painful! I don't remember it hurting, but I imagine the anticipation numbed the pain a tiny bit. :)
