Molly lost her first tooth today! She and Ruby were wiggling and wiggling and wiggling it after it was nearly falling out after eating an apple. Here are some of the things I heard them say during the ordeal:
Ruby: “Molly, if you don’t stop moving I will never get it out.”
Ruby also said: “I’ll pull it off quick like Daddy does our band-aids.”
Molly was heard saying this: “Since it’s my tooth, can I try first?!?” (Poor younger sister…she probably isn’t sure anything is really hers…including her teeth!! Ruby is a strong big sister and uses very creative ways to keep herself in charge at all times.)
After they tried a while, Molly came to me and said, “Here, Mama–you pull it out.” I put my finger on her wiggly tooth and then felt queasy. I cannot handle much of anything involving blood or body parts that aren’t doing what they are supposed to be doing. I told her I was sorry, and I might pass out if I did try to pull it out.
Her reply was swift. “Mom, if you can’t take this, just get out and we’ll tell you when we pull it out.”
OK.
Only minutes later she was hollering about her tooth being out. And she was asking Ruby if she could hold her tooth. HER tooth.
It really was a very sweet moment. I couldn’t handle the wiggly tooth and blood, so I was totally out of their way. Those two sweet sisters were working together and making a sweet memory. I am so glad that they have each other!
Obviously, Ruby has some experience in the “losing teeth” business.
Oh, you are KILLING me with these sister pictures…makes me contemplate another baby…IF I could guarantee it meant a sister for Rennison…not that I wouldn’t love another boy, but I digress!!! Such sweet memories…LOVE IT!!!! And Molly’s facial expressions are too much 🙂 CONGRATS to Molly…a big (toothless) girl now!
These sister pics are PRECIOUS!!! I love the one you took between the two girls with their reflections in the mirror… priceless!
Sweet sweet……Ruby is so serious about the work she is to do and Molly so trusting……I love you all.
Such a sweet post!!!! Tell Molly tha Jud was SO happy for her!! (My cell phone was acting up, but I’m assuming you didn’t get our text after you sent us the pic??) Jud thought it was the greatest!! LOVE the sister pics!!
And Marcy, hopefully Kaybeth and Renny will be more like sisters than cousins! 🙂 B/c I’m out of the “baby making business” lol!
Thanks for sharing that sweet moment. The girls seem to be close. What was Mack doing while being unchaperoned? At my house the whole incident would have taken an ugly turn…hahaha!! Come on Marcy and Cacy have us another baby.
Great photos girl!
Here to say that you totally blew my mind on that comment!!!! Wow. I don’t even know where to start… really good!! THank you!!
