Third Tooth

As you may recall, Madelyn recently lost two teeth. The first was pulled by Mrs. Musselman at school, and the second was pulled by Mrs. Musselman at home - remember the surprise visit during the Packers - Bears game?

This time, however, Madelyn wanted to pull the tooth all by herself! But she just couldn't muster up the courage. Well, at least not until an entire day's worth of trying. ;) I captured almost an hour of video of Madelyn working on it in her bathroom. Below is a short clip.

Here's how it started. Yes, it's literally just hanging there. But she would NOT let us touch it.

Madelyn spent the better part of the day trying to talk herself into pulling it, and trying to wiggle it out!

Finally! The next day, Madelyn pulled it out (although there wasn't really much "pulling" that needed to be done)!
