So this tooth was not to be outdone. The twin to the school scream and upstairs neighbor to Christmas Eve...this tooth has actually been fairly peaceful in the wiggling department. Meaning, a slight breeze wasn't sending it flipping madly about her mouth, and I wasn't being asked to wiggle it every 5 seconds. Although she declared it was impossible to eat dinner last night, and I was instructed to only give her yogurt and turkey lunchmeat for lunch today (although I snuck some Cheetos in and she didn't seem to have a problem with them).
Fast forward to today after school. Chris was home from work, it was in the mid-60s at least, sun shining. I cleaned out my car (that's another post in and of itself) and we played some Cul-de-Sac soccer. Big Belle cheats. Chris and I like to play as much as the girls, so we usually try and kick the ball a little without them (nice, huh) or hit one of the big plastic balls that we have around. So we had this big like 26" ball, very soft and light, and we were hitting and kicking it. Chris kicked it to me, and I took it and threw it at Big Belle. Being the nice mom that I am. Of course, I couldn't resist playfully bopping her in the face with it (I mentioned she cheated at soccer, right?). Don't report me anywhere. She laughed. I laughed. And then I said "And even THAT didn't make your tooth fall out?!" And then -- "Mommy, it DID make my tooth fall out!" Low and behold the bloody cavern and empty gap where the tooth once was. Speaking of the tooth...
it's gone.
Much like the mysterious mouse that disappeared in June and has not been seen since, the tooth could not be found. Big Belle swears she didn't swallow it, but we searched the street everywhere. So after her bath, Belle has a whole note planned for the Tooth Fairy. Hope that Tooth Fairy is ready!
And I need to go update my resume to "tooth loosener" who knew I had such skills.
