This past week Kennady has had her first loose tooth. She was a little freaked out that it kept on wiggling in her mouth. She would keep going into the bathroom and watch herself in the mirror wiggle it. Finally after about 4 or 5 days of it being loose, she was just playing in her room and it fell out on it's own. OH she is taking after her Grandma Herrick...LOL! She came running to me with her tooth in her hand saying "my tooth fell out, it just fell out." As soon as she went into the bathroom to look, she realized it was bleeding a little bit and got a little nervous, but was pretty happy once I explained that the tooth fairy would come and leave her some money under her pillow. The tooth fairy came that night and she was ecstatic to see a dollar under her pillow.
The story of Grandma Herrick's tooth:
So I thought this would be a good time to explain the story of Grandma's tooth. Grandma has had this tooth for I don't know how long, that keeps falling out. The tooth is completely broken down to her gums and she won't go to the dentist to get it fixed. She does go in however to get it glued in, but this last time the dentist finally told her that if it falls out again they are not gluing back on for her. She needs the rest of her tooth pulled and then have a bridge made. She keeps using the excuse that she doesn't have time, but we all know she hates the dentist and that's why she won't get it done. She just keeps gluing this tooth onto practically nothing. She has had a few incidents where her tooth has come out in public, but here is the story that takes the icing on the cake.
So on black Friday my mom, sister, sister-in-law, and I were shopping at JcPenney's and as my mom was trying on shoes her tooth had popped out of her mouth and it was literally bouncing along JcPenney's floor. We were all laughing hysterically as my mom was chasing her tooth in the shoe department. I don't know what's worse, chasing your tooth in a department store or actually having to get a bridge done at the dentist. I would take the dentist. However she came back with her tooth, wiped it off and glued it back in once again. GROSS! We teased her and had quite the laughs the rest of the day. I would say it's time to get the bridge work done.
