While we were in Italy at the end of June, we noticed Jack's first "permanent" tooth peeking through his bottom gums...BEHIND his baby teeth. As soon as we returned from holiday, we visited the dentist, full of apprehension. (OK, Jack was fine, but I was full of apprehension.) Indeed, the baby tooth had to go to make room for the adult tooth. So, after a bit of creme was applied to the gum to kill the pain, the baby tooth was wrenched from its home. :-( Jack was not so happy, but I was relieved it was done. Jack was very brave, and we celebrated with some gelato, which always seems to make everything much better.
We left with our tooth in a handy little sealed pouch, and happily put it under the pillow for our first Tooth Fairy visit.
We wondered if the Tooth Fairy would find us in this faraway land, but she had no problem. And apparently, in Germany, first teeth are worth 2 Euros and a sword. :-)
