First tooth down. Many more to come...

I few days ago Ava announced "Mom!!! I have a wiggly tooth!!!" Maybe that should of been in all caps, because she was THAT EXCITED.  Her excitement has only grown since that moment, that moment when I doubted her and tried to wiggle it myself, and I still wasn't convinced. 

It was barely loose, and I'm not a big fan of kids growing up too soon so I told her NO.  No losing teeth yet. 

But she persisted.  

This afternoon when I dropped her off at school she was obsessively playing with the tooth with her tongue.  It still didn't seem very loose.  I told her to be patient, it could take a week before it would fall out.  

Well by the time I picked her up from school, 3 hours later, that tooth was not at all in the same spot.  I wasn't sure she was going to make it until the next day.
Sure enough, while I was at yoga, John sends me this picture.  The girl decided that tooth had to go, so she yanked it out.  And her little one-less-tooth smile is now just overflowing with pride. 

I adore this child.

Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
