About 18 hours after our first dental floss experiement, Emilee lost yet another tooth! We'd discussed pulling it that night, but since it wasn't ready to pull the night before when we got the first one, I figured it wasn't ready to pull less than 24 hours later. But while playing in the back yard and chewing gum, it popped out all on it's own! I think the first one was helping to hold it in or something! lol

She is also sporting the haircut she recieved right after school. I had to drag her in (since the last 30 days consisted of conversations along the lines of "If you keep crying, we're cutting it all off", etc, etc, etc.) I made her go in and she was sad. But the cut is so cute on her, even SHE could see that! She ran her hands through her hair all day commenting on how wonderfully tangle free it was and how she was going to keep it like this for a while. It is awfully cute on her. Growing up I said I'd never cut my children's hair short. I thought little kids and long hair were inseparable! But Emilee just looks cute cute cute with short hair. Her hair is so thin and straight and short hair just complimetns her face. We had it cut in an inverted bob and slightly stacked in the back. It's a bit shorter than we asked for, but still adorable on her. Yes, that was pride you heard in my voice....I'm a sinner.

I've always thought kids with their teeth missing were cute. But something about it being on my own "baby" just makes my heart melt. I love that look!

LOL! We did the same with our daughter about 6 months ago b/c of the tangles and crying. Hers is very thin and fine as well. We were so pleased! We are back at the "If you keep crying I'm cutting it off again" stage. But then I came up with a great solution...we go to the pool almost every day and the kids want something from the consession stand that you have to take out a huge loan in order to buy a bag of chips. So anyway, I told her that for every time I got to brush her hair with out her crying she gets 50 cents. She's 4 so that's a fortune to her! She can spend her small fortune on anything she wants at the pool.
