Annie lost her two bottom teeth a few weeks ago and a few days apart. She has started noticing them getting loose and Kurt had kept telling her that she was about the age she should start loosing some teeth...so one day the first one was really loose. She came home from school and said Ms. Melissa (her teacher) tried to pull it out, but it started bleeding and that was it. So that night, Kurt asked Annie if he could pull it out for her. She was so adamant that he could not. Kurt tried reassuring her it wouldn't hurt. Then the rest of the conversation went something like this...
Annie, "No, dad. I don't want you to do it. Ms. Melissa, the tooth puller will do it."
Kurt, "What, your teacher is not a tooth puller. Annie, I'm a dentist. That's what we do, pull teeth. Just let me do it."
A "No dad, Ms. Melissa will do it at school tomorrow."
K, "Why do want Ms. Melissa to do it so bad Annie."
Leah, "Because Kurt, that's the COOL thing to do...to have Ms. Melissa pull it out in front of all her friends."
A "Yeah Dad, the Cool thing, yeah yeah, the cool thing."
She sounded like the biggest nerd and reminded both Kurt and I of my little sister Rebecca!! So cute...Kurt had a little bit of a hard time because Annie would not let him pull it.
The next tooth was lost while Julianna and Miles were here visiting...it was literally handing on by a thread...she would not let Ms.Melissa pull it at school or Kurt pull it at home. Then finally, I remembered that she had asked me if we had any big (not already cut up) apples at home a few days earlier. So, I asked her if she wanted an apple and she did....She barely even made any teeth marks on the apple before it popped out. It was so loose, it didn't even bleed!
Now, the reason she wanted an apple was because a peds dentist had come in to talk to the class and told a story about how he had lost his tooth while eating an apple, so Annie thought that sounded pretty cool and wanted a similar story. So, now she has one....crazy girl!!!
The tooth fairy came both times and gave her a dollar each time, the first time was a gold coin dollar and the second time was a dollar bill. She was pretty excited!
And she looks really cute with her new smile....

So cute! Lauren always talks about her "new" cousin Annie. It's too bad you guys don't live by us. They would be best of friends, I'm sure. Glad to find your blog!
I love the stories, Leah! Too funny that she wouldn't let Kurt pull it out - she is getting to the "cool" stage, huh? :) Gotta love that one!!
