Elli Lost her First Tooth

Months ago when Elli found her first wiggly tooth, she was so excited. I'll have to admit, though, I was a little scared. You see, Elli doesn't do well with pain and new life events that involve pain. So far she has fainted four times from these kind of things in the last couple years. It happened when she got her finger pricked to test iron, when she got a bee sting, another time when she had an ear infection and I gave her ear drops, and after she got her kindergarten shots. I was not excited for what would happen when we had to pull teeth out. I remembered from my childhood the pain and anxiety that came with loose teeth and wondered how many times Elli would faint in the next few years with each tooth that fell out.

So happy to report....Elli lost her first tooth and there was no fainting whatsoever. WooHoo!

It simply came out, in her mashed potatoes of all things. Boy, was I relieved. And since then she lost her second with no incident at all!
