has been here.
It all came as a surprise last Wednesday. We were eating dinner and Anne started to complain that her tooth hurt (again). It was dismissed as an excuse not to eat her vegetables (again). She took another bite and broke down in tears of pain. Dad took her to the bathroom to check it out. Turns out her tooth was really loose. She was rather anxious but we reassured her that everyone looses teeth, and that when it comes out (it could be a few days) she could put it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy. That made her happy.
The next thing I knew she came running into the room with her tooth in hand!
I asked if Dad had pulled it out. The answer was NO.
!!???!!
This from Anne? The same Anne who fights to the death rather than let me even come near her slivers?
The story came out that she was just wiggling it and it fell right out into her lip.
I was not prepared for this. Don't they start losing teeth in Kindergarten or 1st grade?
Where did the time go??
She immediately started wiggling and working on the other one. This one is going to take some time--and patience--now that we know what is coming.
*Just in time to be missing tooth twins with her cousin Olivia!
