First Lost Tooth

First Lost Tooth

A has been waiting for this day for a LONG time.

She did not understand why she

didn't lose a tooth in Kindergarten

like all her friends did. She has been wanting

to lose a tooth, and today she FINALLY did.

About 3 weeks ago we noticed that the

new tooth was already coming in, yet the

baby tooth was not so loose. What JOY she

expressed tonight when I finally pulled it

out for her. It was getting more loose and beginning

to hurt her, so I asked her if she wanted me to pull

it out. She did. I did. PURE JOY...you should have

heard the GIGGLES from this girl. It made my

heart swell. However, it was not so thrilling for R.

After A showed her the hole in her mouth, R began crying

and said, "I don't have one out yet". PITIFUL. She wants to lose

a tooth now too. Oh, to be like our Big Sisters. Of course, we had

to call the Grandparents to let them know.

It did not take A long to fall asleep

(which for those of you who know her well, know this is a

feat in and of itself) in hopes of something special

from the "tooth fairy".

Good Night
