LOST TOOTH

Eleanor had a loose tooth for about a month now.  Last week it started to get really lose and was about hanging, and I kept telling her I bet she would lose it before Christmas.  (I was hoping Santa AND the tooth fairy wouldn't have to come the same night.)  We went to dinner on Friday, and she took a bite of her roll, and it had blood on it.  I looked and it was seriously hanging by a thread.  She was so brave and let me pull it out the rest of the way.  She lost her appetite for dinner, and had tears in her eyes, but once she put that tooth under her pillow and got a $1 and a chocolate coin, all was well.
