Toothless

This child...right here...is crazy.  She is so different from her sister, it's fun to watch, but it can be stressful too.  We were brushing teeth before bed last week, and I mentioned that her bottom front tooth was (a teeny tiny bit) loose.  She got excited.  She got very excited.  Just about every friend she has has lost a tooth, and they have a special board at school showing who has lost a tooth, and when.  And, to top it all off, if you lose a tooth at school you get a special tooth necklace to hold it in.  This is all so very exciting.  So exciting apparently, that she needed that tooth OUT.  The next day we were at dinner and she says her tooth hurts too much to eat, so I check and it's super wiggly.  How did that happen Brooke?  She shrugs her shoulders. Very suspicious.  So then the next day she has a play date after school, I don't get to see her until 5pm.  I show up, and guess what...tooth is GONE!  How did it come out Brooke?  "I pulled it out!"

Crazy child...right here:

Sydney was excited about her first tooth being loose too, but it took weeks for it to be loose enough to pull out, and she was timid about it coming out.  When it did come out there was a new tooth ready and waiting to come in.  No sign of a new tooth for this kid...that tooth was not ready to come out yet.  But it did, and she got her tooth necklace, the tooth fairy came, and she's a happy girl.  We told the tooth fairy not to be too generous.  We don't want her yanking out the rest of her teeth just yet.

It is kind of cool that both of these crazy kids have a missing tooth spot at the same time though!

The second tooth is a tiny bit loose.  We may have more toothless pics to share soon!
