Sydney lost a tooth!

Sydney lost her first tooth last night!  Well, "lost" is not exactly the best word to describe how it happened.  Her tooth was REALLY loose (hanging out of her mouth) after dinner.  She actually had two loose teeth, but after being hit in the mouth by Pierce (indirectly and accidentally) twice this week, one was really hanging on by a string.  So, last night after dinner (which she almost couldn't eat because of her tooth), things started to get dramatic.  After about 45 minutes of drama and crying (over the imaginary pain and the fear of the unknown, I suppose), I finally had to pull it out for her.  Her tooth was literally dangling out of her mouth after dinner, and I had to tell her that I was not going to let her go to bed with that thing hanging out of her mouth - it was a serious choking hazard!  Once I pulled it out, the tears stopped, a proud smile appeared, and she asked for her popcicle and moved on with her evening.  When she got into bed, she asked me to leave the window cracked so that the tooth fairy could get in her room, so I obliged.  She was thrilled with the dollar she got the next morning.
