We finally decided that baby tooth of Sydney's was just not coming out on it's own. And the replacement adult tooth was fully errupted and "grown up" right behind the baby tooth! After weeks of pleading and deal-making, I finally just made a call to the dentist to get that thing pulled out. Sydney chose to had Daddy with her, so I didn't have to witness it first hand. She did good I am told, although she was just a "bit" anxious when she saw the huge needle that was going to be used to numb her gums. That was when they needed restrain her arms, mostly so she didn't grab the needle out of the Dentist's hand!! After the numbing was done, the tooth gave a little bit of a struggle but eventually came out. It did have a visibly longer root than the first one that came out. I can definately see why it never got very loose on it's own.
Not only did she score $1 from the tooth fairy last night, but she also got the baggie of money she had taken to school to practice counting coins with. Probably a good 2 or 3 dollars in there. We also made a trip to Meijers to let her pick out a flavor of ice cream. Heck, it's not every day you get a tooth yanked out. (thank god!)
