Lost Tooth

Elli lost her first tooth. I could hardly believe she is already at this stage of life. She's 5, but hasn't even started kindergarten yet. Over the past few days all of us have been trying to talk her into letting us yank it out as it has been hanging by a thread (literally). Stubborn Elli wouldn't let us have anything to do with it. She said, ( as she folded her arms across her chest) "It's my body and I'll decide when I want my tooth to come out!"
Luckily, a crispy corn dog did the trick at dinner last night. She looks super cute with a hole in her smile. I'll have to take a pic to post later.
