She lost her first tooth!!!

FINALLY! Lindsay has been wanting a loose tooth for over a year, not knowing what a pain (literally) it would be. Almost a month ago, we had dentist appointments (no one had cavaties, which is a first for my kids). That morning, before going to the dentist, Lindsay found that she had an adult tooth coming in behind her bottom front tooth. Perfect timing! My only concern was that the baby tooth in front of it wasn't loose at all. So while at the dentist, he loosened it for her and said to have her keep wiggling it and it should be out within a week. Well obviously that didn't happen. Dan made several attempts to pull it while I had to hold her down and she was screaming! We gave up on torturing her and made an appointment to have it pulled. She said she didn't care if the dentist pulled it, until I drove up to the dentist office yesterday. She started to get really nervous. My neighbor, Mindy, watched the boys for me and Lindsay's friend, Maizy, came with us. Lindsay willingly got into the chair and I knelt down by her and held her hand. Our dentist is awesome! I asked him not to give her a shot because a lot of times that makes it more traumatic. He agreed. He got out his pliers and Lindsay started to cry but held mostly still. He was trying to get the pliers around the tooth, when, "POP!" the tooth came flying out and landed on her dental bib. She cried for just a minute but later said it didn't hurt at all. She was just crying because she was scared. Phew! Glad it's over and so is she. She got a spinning toothbrush and a bracelet. Hopefully this is the last time we have to pay someone else to do what WE could have done if she would have let us!
