minus a tooth
Through all the chaos of vacations, visits to/from Grandma, sick kids, and catching up I nearly forgot about a big event. Mimi lost her first tooth! It happened the weekend before our big trip to San Diego and completely caught us off guard. Mimi was only 2 months into her 5th year, so we didn’t expect her to be losing teeth quite yet. Her tooth started loosening up about a month before, but Mimi really downplayed it like she does everything else (like her broken tooth that she doesn’t seem to notice). It was during bedtime tooth-brushing when Annie shrieked that Mimi’s tooth was bleeding. Mike noticed that it was only hanging on by a thread, so he was determined to get it out. Mimi was not pleased with this goal, and struggled to get away from Daddy. All it took was one yank, and Daddy had it out. Mimi still wasn’t thrilled and even tried to throw her tooth away. Mimi needed a few minutes of convincing to save her tooth for the Tooth Fairy. She changed her mind when she discovered the next morning what the Tooth Fairy had left for her ($5). Mimi got more excited about her lost tooth once she realized she had something to announce to everyone when she saw them.
The little tooth.
More concern about the blood.
Look at the excitement on that face (not exactly).
Same outfit, different day. Today she’s much more willing to show off her toothless grin.
The new tooth is already demanding a spot in and amongst the baby teeth. (Yes, Mimi holds Sadie pretty much all day; this time is no exception).
