Venice Loses Another Tooth

Venice's upper right middle tooth has been loose for at least a month now. She's been wiggling it every day wondering when it'll fall out. Tonight at dinner, she took a bite food and cried out. We looked at her and she had blood oozing out around the top of the tooth where it connects with the gums. Yum! We told her to spit out her food and she wiggled her tooth and it fell out. Among the feelings of excitement that it finally came out, we also felt horror. Who wants to see blood coming out of their kid's mouth? Yikes! But we tried to hide it, helped her clean up and wondered out lout what the Tooth Fairy would bring her (two new DVDs, by the way). She was a bit "tired" after this ordeal, perhaps she, too, was grossed out by the blood? Perhaps we didn't hide our horror as well as we thought, or, who knows. But after some ice cream to celebrate, she was excited to put the tooth in her Tooth Fairy Pillow. Hopefully tomorrow she'll be excited to tell everyone about it!
