Emily's Tooth (or the lack thereof)

Emily lost her first tooth today! She actually pulled it out herself during P.E. and put it in her pocket. She showed and told me all about it first thing off the bus. She is SO EXCITED.

She and Dallin went to the dentist during Christmas break. Based on the X-ray, the dentist figured she'd likely lose a tooth in March or April. So, I kid you not, every day for a month she'd ask me if she had a loose tooth. After that, it was very often that she'd ask me that or say she wish she'd lose a tooth. Every time a classmate of hers lost a tooth, she'd comment on how much she wished she could lose one too. Last week we noticed that both bottom front teeth were loose and she's been diligently wiggling the looser of the two. Well, right now that little tooth is under her pillow and she is sound asleep axiously awaiting the Tooth Fairy.

There's nothing like the first lost tooth to realize you've got a big (and cute!) girl at home. :)

Savannah is dying for the day to come that she has a loose tooth. Emily is so cute!

Yay! How fun! Sam would be jealous. He's been wishing for a loose tooth but unfortunately, the xrays of his teeth show that it is not anytime in the near future!

Wow, I need the number of your dentist. I love that she pulled it out all by herself and put it in her pocket. It sounds like something you would do. Hollyn can't wait to loose a tooth.
