We had been sick and tired of him and his stubborn ways. Always holding on to something that was no longer his and never ready to let go.
We tried to tell him and show him that we had enough of him and it was time to go.
But he would not listen, Oh NOOOO ... he didn't listen, NOT him.
So this morning we took things into our own hands (with some help of a trusted friend) and just ended it right then and there.
No more arguing or debating, no more negotiating. We had had it with him.
Mr. Stubborn, Mr. Never-Let-Go, Mr. Major Separation Anxiety.
It's over, done, we are through!!!
This was a process that took weeks .... heck it was like pulling teeth. Literally ....

shark tooth!!!
It's easy to let go if you have a replacement on hand ;)
After

Milpitas, CA, USA,
L's tooth would not come out!!!
It held on for dear life and she got quite tired of that HUGE PAIN (according to L) that she felt every time she tried to eat. Especially broccoli soup was VERY hard to eat this way ;)
Off we went to see our wonderful Dr.C who took care of business.
A funny nose (laughing gas), a bit of needle-icing and a quick pull and the SUCKER was OUT!!!!
The tooth was quite attached to the front gum line and would have not come out on it's own very easily.
The neighbor tooth is doing the same funny business and will most likely go the same way :(
The guys across the street (upper front teeth) are doing it too and since the new buddies are ready to pop through soon L will have to have these pulled too.
These "shark teeth" have NO room in her big ...I mean little mouth and are coming in all wrong :(
That totally sucks!!!
But L did GREAT!
She was quite nervous (and so was I) but she made it through like a BIG girl .. the laughing gas helped too ... she giggled the whole time while he was numbing her.
Once she felt a pain when he gave her the needle but he just said "Oops, I am sorry, that was my finger."
When we left L said to me "It didn't hurt at all Mama . But his fingers - I don't like them. He needs to cut his nails!"
Of Course!!!
No comment needed!
She can wink SO good!!!
Thanks to our MOST wonderful FGM we had the exact purple sachet with the gold trimming and rope on hand that the Tooth Fairy's fairy friend made for her so the kids could leave the tooth in this sachet, thus making it easier for the Tooth Fairy to find the tooth.
Thanks to our wonderful Dentist Dr. C we then could place the tooth in the sachet in the tooth box that he gave us.
Now the Tooth Fairy only has to look for the tooth box, then find the sachet and then find the tooth. Still making it easier for the Tooth Fairy to find the tooth.
Thanks to L's wonderful Mama we also had a VERY fancy Tooth Fairy Pillow on hand.
Now we could place the tooth in the sachet, the sachet in the tooth box, the tooth box in the pocket of the Tooth Fairy Pillow, which then was placed into Ls bed.
Now the Tooth Fairy only has to look for the Tooth Fairy Pillow, find the pocket, find in the pocket the tooth box, then find the sachet and then find the tooth. POOR THING!!!
Honestly, I am worried she'll give up the search for this one, itty, bitty, tiny, little baby tooth after looking for it for hours.
I am so glad we can't understand Tooth Fairy'ish ... I am sure it won't be pleasant to listen to her tonight searching through Ls bed. :)
And off I go ... the Tooth Fairy is calling for her search dogs already. I better help her with her hunt for the tooth before she'll post "Most Wanted" signs all over Coyote Street :)
