Cass started loosing her teeth this year. Her first one came out in January and was a traumatic experience. Unfortunately we made a classic parent blunder. We kept telling her that her "adult tooth" was ready to come in. She would cry and cry every time we tried to touch the tooth. We bribed her with everything but even talk of the tooth fairy didn't lead to the removal of the tooth. She eventually confessed during one particularly impressive crying episode that she didn't want to be an adult she wanted to stay a child! So sad. Once we assured her that she could stay a child as long as she wanted to be one, the tears subsided but she still wouldn't let us pull the tooth out. It finally came out during her primary class one Sunday, much to the adoration and curiosity of the other little ones in her class. Anyway, that was 4 teeth ago. She is now sporting the OH-So-CUTE big gap on top and is trying to creatively remove her other teeth in an effort to earn more cash. She desperately wants to buy an obnoxious looking cup cake decorating "toy" she saw on TV the other day. CURSES! Those TV commercials lead to trouble.
