Her First One!

My little girly is growing up!
She came to me Monday after lunch saying her tooth was hurting and really loose. She hasn't once told us she had a loose tooth so I wasn't expecting it to be that loose. But it was. She had to wait until I finished my phone call (yup, I can talk a lot some days) and then I yanked it.

She didn't like that it hurt but she was brave and so excited! I think she feels like a bigger kid now that she's missing a tooth. It's hard to see when she smiles cause her bottom lip covers it, but it's there, or rather, not there.

If you look at the picture on the left it's hard to tell what tooth she's missing. She actually had 2 teeth grow together when she was a baby so she doesn't have the normal 4 bottom teeth. I'm hoping when the new teeth grow in that she'll have 4. We soon shall see!

But for now we rejoice that the tooth fairy only forgot to come the first night and made up for it the next day while we were gone...stinkin tooth fairy. All busy and scatterbrained! How could she forget to bring money for Kate's first tooth. We might have to fire her and find someone a bit more reliable...

Kale's big news

On Saturday - the 19th - Kale came to Mark during breakfast and said that his tooth was really loose {he's been showing us his loose tooth for the past 3 weeks!}. Mark looked and asked him if he was ready for it to come out. Kale wasn't so sure. So I asked him if I could feel it.

Kale came over to me and when he opened his mouth it was obvious that his tooth was hanging on by a nano-thread. I asked if I could feel it and he said yes.

As soon as I stuck my fingers in his mouth the tooth practically fell out in my hand. I set it on the table as he was saying to me "do you think it's ready to come out?"

I showed him the tooth and he screamed {in excitement I promise}. He was so thrilled that he'd finally lost a tooth. We had to document of course.
