Tonight was the Daisy Scout Investiture Ceremony, where the girls official become Girl Scouts. One of Emily's bottom teeth had been loose for days and was literally hanging by a tread. I was pretty sure it would come out at some point this evening...just not sure exactly when. She was very pre-occupied with the tooth all night and would not stop playing with it. Fortunately she made it through the Girl Scout oath (as pictured below) without any problems. As soon as it was time for cake and brownies, she started crying hysterically that it was coming out. Since I'd been through this 4 times before, I knew the "just let me dry it off with a kleenex, I won't pull it" routine. And lo and behold out it came! This time there was quite a bit of blood which totally freaked her out, but once we got cleaned up she seemed to be fine. And the best news of all is that she was so worn out from her big night, she went right to sleep!
On my honor, I will try, to serve God and my country
To help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout Law

What's a celebration without some cake?
