Snaggle tooth

Our one and only daughter, Isabel, lost her first tooth this past weekend. It has been loose for quite a while. Then, the other day, while a neighbor was talking with us, she walked up to us and said, "Here, pull it out." She had a roll of string in her hand. This. girl. meant. business. I would have never asked for my tooth to be pulled out with a string. Then again, I didn't have three brothers (though I did have one :). We tried and tried, but couldn't get the string to stay around her little tooth. The neighbor tried, but actually just grabbed her tooth and pulled it out. I was sad for a moment that her Dad or I weren't one of the ones to actually pull it out, but after seeing the HUGE smile on her face, I realized it was a fun story for her and either way we were right there. She was SO proud. She put it under her pillow and the tooth fairy came to see her. She is convinced she is going to buy a toy giraffe, like Lola, a character in one of her books. I thought it was kind of neat that Andrew lost his first tooth at 4, Joseph at 5, and now Isabel at 6. Isabel already has another loose tooth. Anyway, here is a picture of our new little snaggle tooth!
