Raquel lost her first tooth at the beginning of the school year (September 2014). It was her bottom tooth. We tried many ways to pull it out. We finally decided to ties floss around the tooth and tie it to the front door. We left the front door open knowing that Adaline would see it and come running up to it and slam it shut. She likes closing doors. Well, she did. Raquel screamed out of nerves but not tooth fell out! Adaline cried as she thought she hurt her sister. It was dramatic. I went to help calm Raquel and remove the string from the door. As I was removing the string the tooth popped out!
It was a funny experience and I took several videos trying to capture the actually moment and we never got it.
The next tooth Raquel lost was when we were on vacation in Hawaii. She noted that her tooth was loose and was wiggling it a lot. Dad tried to convince her to let him pull it. I think now that she has experienced loosing a tooth she was a lot more afraid or anticipated pain and wouldn't let anyone touch it. She pulled it herself. Left it in the glove box and the tooth fairy may a day visit and left her 5 bucks for her vacation shopping!
