Before we left for Taiwan in late November, I realised that the gap between 2 of her lower front teeth was widening. It was then that we found her 1st wiggling tooth. She was scared and excited at the same time and she was constantly shaking that tooth with her fingers or tongue until she grew bored with it but the tooth was still firmly grounded. Lol.
Days gone by and that tooth becomes more and more shaky but was still there. There was little or no pain when she wiggles it but I thought it looked really scary when she showed me. I cant remember how I got rid of my milk teeth and couldn't advise much. I read on the Web that we should wait or send her to the dentist if the shaky baby tooth refused to go on. So, we waited.
We saw the adult tooth growing out and not very neatly but the milk tooth didn't want to say goodbye. Whenever we mentioned the dentist, Lil Shauna whines.
This afternoon, Popo called me to say that her milk tooth is out! Apparently, her gum bled a little when she wiggled it. Popo asked her to try to yank it out. She gave it a little tug and voila! I was very excited, asking her over the phone to keep the tooth. Obviously, she doesn't shared my excitement and was hurrying to get off the phone before I manage to tell her that the Tooth Fairy would visit her tonight! But I shouldn't tempt fate to tease her and ask her to wait to catch a glimpse of the Tooth Fairy. Lil Shauna doesn't need much sleep and often complains that sleeping is boring. I would love it if they turn in by 9.30pm.

I am tempted to keep her milk teeth. I am equally grossed out at the thought. Lol. I wonder if she would even treasure those 20 years down the road. I was totally grossed out too when my dentist showed me my gigantic extracted wisdom tooth and asked if I would like to keep them.
So what do Tooth Fairy gives other than $$? How does a toothbrush sound? Lol.
