What a way to make 5 bucks!

Allie has lost quite a few of her baby teeth but they have all been the small front teeth on either the top or the bottom.

Sunday Jared & Felisha were visiting and Allie kept saying she had a loose tooth. Felisha being an expert at pulling teeth pulled Allie's very first molar. It was great - no crying or anything. Well only a little crying and that was before Felisha actually tried to pull it! :)

Felisha learned a little "trick" from the school nurse that will help to pull a tooth that is ready to come out with almost no pain. The trick is using gauze. The tooth sticks to it, you gently squeeze at the gum line and out pops the tooth!


So the tooth fairy came Sunday night and Allie had $5 on Monday morning....

What do you know, Allie came home from school today with a second molar in a cute little tooth box she got from the school nurse!! I guess she is trying to put together some spending money for spring break!

  1. Look at Allie's smile, how adorable. And great trick! We have to try it with Julius. Even though these little tooth containers from school look just so cute. We might have to send him to the school nurse after spring break for his loose tooth!
