Milk Tooth Boxes
MC, at five, was ahead with her peers when it comes to loose teeth. And proud of it. She lost her first milk tooth last month. It happened on our breakfast table. She simply said, 'mama, this tooth is loose.' Of course, we called her papa to tell him about it.
But she wanted to wiggle it out. As she also can feel that a new tooth is coming out. I told her to bite on something hard that it would completely get loose. She tried on toast, nothing. On wursts, nothing.
She headed to kindergarten with a proud smile, showing everyone we met her loose tooth. And when we got home, she called her oma and opa, her aunt and uncles, her god mother, even -- to let them on the news. They were all so excited for her.
But she still cant wiggle the tooth out. Oh, an idea came to me. Gummi bears! I gave her and her small sister, IC, a bunch to chew on.
A few seconds after that, a scream and a whimper. I run to her side and saw that she's got her tooth out, but her gum is bleeding a little. After dabbing the blood away, she smiled for a souvenir photo. And where to put her milk tooth?
She found a Prinzessin Lillifee tooth can, shaped of course, like a tooth. And IC, chose the cat tooth wooden box, while trying to convince me that she's also got one loose tooth.
