The first loose tooth
T ran the gamut of emotions yesterday over her loose tooth. The dentist told her to wiggle it, and she did for hours. 
Eventually she had made enough progress that I told her to twist it. She did.
And I finished the job for her with a little twisty tug or two. 
Due to the bruising from the slide, a lot more blood came out than I expected - but she is fine. 
Boy was she proud!
The tooth went into her tooth fairy pillow that my mother made for her.
This is going to get expensive fast! And I feel like my baby went off to college or something...I just want to cry!

The tooth fairy brought her a dollar (4 times more than the tooth fair brought me - ah, inflation). I also discovered the tooth next to the one that came out is loose.
Then I looked in J's mouth. He has an adult tooth bulging behind his lower central incisor, though his teeth aren't loose yet. Here is a picture of J's tooth bulge:
