Sasha's loose tooth...

She is begging me to pull it out.   Begging!    I said no yesterday & I said no today.   It is loose, but not ready to come out on it's own.    I asked her if it hurt & she said it bothered her.  I told her to keep wiggling it.   She has already lost 7 teeth, so it's not a new  thing.     She then told me that it's not just the tooth or the Tooth Fairy money, she wants her name on the tooth board at school.   Apparently, there is a contest and whoever has their name on there the most wins a prize at the end of the year.    I get it & I don't.    Losing teeth is natural, you can't or at least you shouldn't force it.   I'm sure the teacher has good intentions, trying to turn a scary thing (losing a tooth) into something fun.    Some kid has his name on the list three time.   I told her she already lost, so why rush #8, it will come out when it is supposed to.

ETA...She is working hard at getting it out.   The Tooth Fairy may be visiting tonight!
