Toothless!

Leah recently lost a tooth on our trip to the mountains. She was so excited! Mrs. Niedrach (being the Tooth Fairy and all) was not excited to have to fly all the way up there to bring the money.



As usual... Daddy had to pull the tooth. Leah initially asked me, but since I didn't want to fall out in a dead faint in the middle of the ski cafeteria, I felt that Scot should just do it. Leah was pretty brave and seemed to be very excited to have the tooth pulled. Personally, I think Scot redeemed himself for the time that he pulled Brady's tooth with the pliers... Look! It's a blast from the past!!!...

As you can see here... Leah was just a baby. This is before she even had any teeth really (sob!). The above picture shows Brady (around Leah's age) getting his first tooth pulled by pliers. Although Scot meant well, I think the site of the pliers was just too much for the children and they've never forgotten it. I'm pretty sure that Mrs. Niedrach has pulled all of Christian's teeth because he is deathly afraid of the pliers (which is why I don't have any pictures).


Anyway, Leah was very happy and we were all thankful that Mrs. Niedrach braved the flight and brought some money!

What a big girl!
