Loosing a tooth is such a tangible reminder that your little one is growing up. It is a bittersweet time for me. I had plenty of time to prepare for the event as the tooth had been wiggling in there for several weeks. My daughter was nervous about pulling it out, so we waited and waited. Finally last night she decided she wanted to have me try and see if it would come out. It was good and ready – so I just have it a little push and out it came.

She is very excited now and is asking everyone how they think she looks with her missing tooth. The one next to it is also loose – so I would image she will enter school with both of them gone.
