More tooth drama

I'd been telling Aubrey I wanted her two front teeth gone in time for her school picture retake, and she'd been working on wiggling it but wasn't too anxious to pull it out. I've never had a kid do a retake of a school picture, but Aubrey's was not good. She, basically, just showed the photographer all her teeth with no smile. It was funny, but we paid decent money for a SMILE, and I wanted one. Plus, since that photo, she'd lost one of her two front teeth, and I wanted that documented.

Anyhow, the night before her picture retake, we were all sitting at the table, having just finished dinner, and we were all trying to get Aubrey to pull her tooth out. Lots of family pressure going on. :) It's been ready, hanging crooked and all. Bleh! We got out the dental floss, and she let Greg tie it onto her tooth. She pulled on the floss, but it just fell off. Greg tied it back on and then yanked. It popped right out! And then began the 15 minutes of screaming and freaking out. It bled, as gums do sometimes when teeth are pulled, and Aubrey did not like it one bit. She frantically rinsed her mouth out under the bathroom faucet, screaming and ranting all the while. Such drama! How many more teeth does she have to lose?? 12?
