Yes, Emma lost her first tooth. It was dramatic and exciting. Her tooth had been loose for about a month and a half. Yesterday it started bleeding some and she of course freaked out. I told her it was because it was so loose and getting ready to come out. I asked her if she wanted me to yank it, which of course sent her into a screaming fit. All day she was wiggling that tooth. Last night, I was on the computer looking for new tap shoes for her as she has out grown her other ones when I hear her shrieking, "MOM! My tooth came out. Am I bleeding???" Sure enough, Emma's first baby tooth has fallen out of her face. I wanted to take her picture but she was too upset about tasting blood. I got her a wash rag with an ice cube in it. Then we had to find something to put the tooth in. After all of that, I got a picture. Emma with a hole in her mouth. She put her tooth under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy. Luckily the Tooth Fairy remembered and had cash. Four dollars was left in her tooth pouch and the tooth was gone this morning.
So now not only is my baby boy not a baby anymore but my daughter is beginning to lose her teeth. No more denying it. My kids are growing up. Ouch. It is very bittersweet for me. One minute they are tiny babies, brand new and little. Looking at you with their innocent eyes and needing you for everything. Then you blink or look away for a moment and they are going to school and losing teeth. Where did the time go? I swear, it was just yesterday that I found out I was even pregnant with her and now? My little girl is growing up. And no one asked me.
