January was a busy month for the Schroeder clan, as it takes time to get back into the swing of things from the holidays. Madelynne has had a lose tooth for months, it feels like. She wiggled it to the point of wanting it desperately to come out. It was the highlight of conversation with anyone she came in contact with. I think we were all sick of hearing about it, but granted, it was a milestone and something she was intent on losing. She would come home sad that some kid at school lost theirs and was to the point one weekend that she just wanted the thing out.
We gave her options and finally she trusted her Papa enough to yank the thing out. It didn't initially go over well. Brad put a slip knot around it and yanked, but she freaked out which left the little thing hanging on by a thread. However, with enough courage, and not wanting to be called "funny" by the other kids at school with this line of floss dangling from her mouth, she finally got the nerve and let Papa yank it out the rest of the way. Not to mention, we sort of bribed her with ice cream if she did it, so that was the selling point, I'm sure of it. Here are the highlights from the first lost tooth.
