Two Teeth

The Tooth Fairy will be visiting our house tonight. Hopefully she remembers to go into both bedrooms to pick up her teeth. Colin and Caroline both lost one today.

This morning while eating his cereal, Colin said that his tooth hurt. He's had a loose one for quite a while now.  He hasn't done much wiggling and hasn't wanted anyone to try and pull it, but this morning it was ready. I grabbed it with a napkin and was ready to give it a good tug, but it popped right out with very little effort. Here's the holey smile.

Then this evening while brushing teeth for bed, I asked Caroline if I could take a quick turn. I started on her bottom teeth first and one of the bottom fronts just bent back pretty severely. It startled me a bit (and her too). Nobody really knew that she had a loose one. It was pretty loose and ready to go too. So Maggie grabbed a kleenex and yanked that sucker out. It came out really easy too. She was pretty excited about it. Here is her new smile.

Julia was of course feeling a little left out. We checked her and she's got a pretty wiggly one too. As she went to bed, she told me of her plan to eat an apple with lunch and for snack tomorrow to help speed up the process. I'm guessing the Tooth Fairy will be back here in a few days.
