Another one gone

Grace lost her 2nd top tooth on the Friday before Valentine's Day. Yes, Joni, it's taken me a while to get this posted. Anyway, Grace would not let us pull this tooth, just like the last one, which she swallowed. I thought that swallowing the last one would have convinced her to not let it get sooooo loose. But, nope, just as last time, she let it get to the dangling stage. That Friday morning she couldn't eat breakfast because it was so loose. Then when she came home from school it was hanging so far down that I could see the entire top rim of the tooth. It was just connected by a little piece of tissue in the middle. So, it was literally dangling by a thread. She said it kept bleeding at school and she couldn't eat. She was starving but couldn't eat at home either. She was crying and wouldn't let me pull it. I called Eric and said that we're going to have to hold her down and get it out when he got home. So, Grace cried until Eric got home at 6pm. It took both of us basically laying on top of her while she was screaming bloody murder. Eric said he barely touched it and it came out. After it was all over and she had calmed down she said thank you and that she was glad we pulled it. Then we went to dinner for a family Valentine's Day night out and she ate really good!
