Where's the Tooth Fairy?


Yesterday Emme lost another tooth. She was worrying her mouth all day, chewing air, and not eating well. I took her up to my sewing room in the afternoon and gave her a sweet potato chew to try to dislodge the loose tooth or help a new tooth break through the gum. I quilted and she chewed for 55 minutes with no change in her teeth. Later in the afternoon, as she was eating dinner, she lost a tooth and was playing with it on the floor. I picked it up from the kitchen floor and put it up on my desk. If the puppy tooth fairy doesn't make a visit, I am going to have this little lost tooth collection on my desk.

Emme has gotten "sit" quite well. She will sit nicely almost everytime she is asked. I have also begun having her sit before I give her the bowl of food. We have done this with Rudy and recently Ken has started telling Rudy to "Leave it" after Ken puts his food bowl on the floor. Rudy is a real champ. He just waits there until Ken tells him "Okay." Rudy does drool all over the floor all the time he is waiting, though.
