Everytime I got my fingers near her trembling lips, she would pull her head back and run off screaming like a total psycho. She finally fell asleep without pulling it.
I checked on her in the night. I was afraid she would swallow it.
Nope, it was still there.
I even tried to pry open her mouth (very gently) and just yank it -
but even in her sleep, she thrashed around a bit and somehow knew I was there.
I left the dang thing alone.
This morning, the sound of Haven's screaming woke me up.
She was running from London (who now felt the need to pull it.)
Poor Haven, somehow she escaped me - but she will NEVER escape London.
And London got it. She promised Haven she would NOT pull it -
she would ONLY touch it.
And then she pounced.
I would have done the same thing last night, except my adult fingers would not move quickly in Haven's tiny mouth.
But London swooped in and saved the day.
No more screaming about teeth for awhile. (I take that back - Haven has 3 more loose teeth rattling around in her head.)
Poor tooth - it never knew what hit it.
Now Haven tells me she does not want to put her tooth under her pillow.
She wants to KEEP her tooth.
I told her to simply leave a note for the Tooth Fairy and she will let you KEEP the tooth AND she will STILL give you money.
Nope,.... Haven does not trust the Fairy to not take her tooth.
And her simple response to me was, "Mom,..... it's only money."
This comment twists in my stomach after MY prize of $380,000,000 was STOLEN out from under me in the Mega Millions Lottery 2 weeks ago. That was SO unfair. That money was supposed to be mine!! Hmmmph!
