Cookie's second tooth fell off this week. I'm posting a picture of how it looked before it fell, just barely hanging there, and I'll post the after picture later. This one didn't come off so easily; Cookie was scared, and she cried a lot when mom pulled it. I think she was kind of hurt too that we didn't just let it fall off on its own. But it was already bleeding, we could see the root on one side, and I was afraid she'd swallow it in her sleep. But the operation was a success, and Cookie was healed almost instantly.
That night, however, was especially busy for me and my large amount of homework, so I stayed up late and promised Cookie I'd put her tooth under the pillow so toothfairy would leave her her dollar. But since manas are good for nothing when they're busy and tired, of course I forgot. Cookie woke up next morning, excited, and looked under her pillow. Her face portrayed her feelings: betrayal. The toothfairy had not come for her second tooth. I quickly said I'd gotten the dollar when I woke up, afraid it'd fall under the bed (while I ran to the living room and got her the dollar). She said nothing about it, but I don't think she really bought it. She had that suspicious look. Oh well. Another one's coming soon, and I'll make sure I do it right this time.
