First lost Tooth

Annabella lost her first tooth at the young age of 4 years old. It was a fight and a half to get her to do anything with it. When we first noticed the tooth it was at church and we told her that she needed to wiggle it so it could come out. She did not like that at all and from that point on she would not do anything it with her tooth. Annabella would not let anyone see it or touch it. A couple of days later she let us see it and that is when we noticed that the incoming tooth had already broken through her skin (as you can see in the picture.) We were concerned and made a dentist appt. The dentist found out that the tooth had no root left and was ready to come out and another tooth was getting ready to come out also. The dentist was going to go ahead and pull the teeth right then and there and that is when Annabella melted (as would almost any kid) and they said they couldn't do it with her melting down like that. That night we called Ms. Jeania over and I (Derek) had to hold her down, and she pulled the tooth out. She was screaming (again like almost any kid would) but she recovered and that is when a whole new little girl came out, because the next day at school she VOLUNTEERED to stand in front of her class and recited the ABCs, if anyone knows Annabella she is, or was, the shyest girl ever, then the other day we went to the park and she went across the monkey bars all by her self, we were close by but not so close that we could have caught her if she fell, so she took that on all by her self. Talk about a proud parent moment. Lastly, we have not been able to get her to stop talking, in her class at church her teacher had to keep asking her stop talking. How funny is that, it has been a crazy week with this little tooth.
