Before, after

In the end I used the string tied to the tooth, tied to the door handle which is then slammed method. Worked like a charm.

Ouch! Hurts to even think about it.

Cruel man. Look at her hair, all matted with sweat from the trauma.

Claire, you are adorable! Did the tooth fairy treat you well? It should have.

Daniel, I never know when you are joking or being truthful, but I'm hoping you are joking on this one.

I'm not joking. Ask around, it sounds crazy but this is actually a tried and true method for extracting teeth that are close to falling out. It was at that point where we couldn't pull it out but Claire was afraid that if she went to sleep she would swallow it. So...

It's true -- I couldn't look. When they gave up on all other methods, they went upstairs to get the job done. I heard the door slam and then a ridiculous amount of laughter and "It worked!!!!! It didn't even hurt!!!!"

Claire has the cutest little lisp, but I haven't pointed it out to her. The other front tooth is super wiggly (she was sure to show me again tonight), but maybe that one will fall out on its own...
