Absolute denial should be this blog title, absolute denial. My little 'baby' is NOT a baby anymore...as much as I would like to hold onto this notion, the laws of nature are overriding my bubble paradigm. For quite sometime, Ms. JB has had this POKING protrusion jetting out from her lower jaw...much like an adult tooth. Albeit...it is a tooth and it is here to stay. For fear of the darn thing growing horizontal into her tongue, i have been bugging her to keep wiggling the baby tooth loose. The baby tooth has NOT been budging whatsoever.
After rest time I told her the old wives tale of tieing the tooth with a string to the doorknob and counting to three. (I could and never would do this) I mentioned to her that trying the "apple" technique would be a safe way to go. "Big apple bites with only your front teeth." She was immediately thrilled with the idea and eager to try it out. First bite loosened the tooth and the blood started to puddle. I only encouraged her to eat more of the apple in order to avoid the whole...blood freak out piece. After her "side-munching" apple biting, the tooth finally came out. She was in absolute shock of the whole process and in complete awe of the end result that laid upon her open hand.
Wooo Hooo sweetie!!! 1st tooth! Can't wait to hear about the ToothFairy JB!! Love you!

Wait. WHAT?!?!?!
No. No. I'm also in denial. Losing teeth? Already? Where's squirming spitting up little JB?
