Ashley's tooth

So it's official- Ashley lost her first tooth last night. We noticed her adult tooth growing in about 2 weeks ago so we told her to really start wiggling her tooth hard. She kinda did. So last week we decided to go drastic and tie some floss around it and yank. She cried and was not happy. Every time Cory pulled, the floss would just slip off. The funny thing is that the tooth was so loose in the back that when Cory pulled, the tooth would go completely vertical, just hanging by a thread (or root?). That actually happened 2 nights between last week nand this week. We caught it all on video. And everytime the floss came off we were all holding our breath waiting to see the tooth on the other end. It never worked! Well last night, I was gone visiting someone in our ward. The kids were all in the bathtub and Ainslee threw a wet washcloth at Ashley. And POP! It fell out. Cory was out of the room and when he came in Ashley was crying and her mouth was full of blood. Ainslee was crying because she felt bad and I'm sure the other kids were crying not knowing what was going on. So Cory dipped his arms in the bloody bath water to find the tooth that was now at the bottom of the tub. Luckily he found it and Ashley's mouth stopped bleeding. All was good. She put the tooth under her pillow and the Tooth Fairy left a note saying "Thank you for your tooth" with a $5 bill which the Tooth Fairy spouse (me) thought was way too much money even for a first tooth. Even Ainslee got $1 and a note saying "Thanks for helping me get Ashley's tooth." She really did feel bad. And boy, is Ashley's adult tooth BIG!!!!
