Happy Valentine's

Valentine's Day was a big day for Ali. She's had a loose tooth for probably at least a couple weeks now. Yesterday it got soooo loose that she couldn't chew on it any more without it hurting & it was totally crooked & just barely hanging on. Her teeth are so small that it's nearly impossible to grab them with your fingers. So Garrett got out the pliers. This picture was taken on Friday night. We tried to get it out then but she kept squirming & was just too nervous. She had us put a towel over her eyes so she couldn't see what was going on.

But yesterday she finally held still long enough for Dad to grab it with the pliers & get it out. Here they are with the prize tooth in her hand & a tissue in her mouth to apply a little bit of pressure.

Gage was excited she lost her first tooth too. As soon as it came out she was dancing around & sooooo very excited for the Tooth Fairy to come.

Here's the note Ali left for the Tooth Fairy. She even asked the Tooth Fairy to leave some pixie dust. When she woke up she had pink sparkly pixie dust in a bag under her pillow.
