Missing Tooth!

YES! It finally happened, Shantel lost her first tooth. After months of her friends losing all their teeth and the question.."is my tooth wiggly?" I could finally answer yes! She was so excited to have her first wiggly tooth, that she was always playing with it. Twisting it this way and that, pushing it forward and back. Me, being the grossed out mom I am had a hard time pulling it our for her and she wouldn't do it herself. Her 'big tooth" was coming up the back side and had already broken through the gums.

So one night while I was at work I get this picture on my phone. I was shocked that it had come out, and yes a little sad that I wasn't there to see the first tooth lost and get it all ready for the tooth fairy. When I found out that Gary had pulled it out, I was even more upset. But I look at it this way, I got to see every other first that the kids have done.

Shantel thinks she is the coolest thing ever. And acts like she is the first person to have lost a tooth. She is constantly sticking her tongue through the hole. She has discovered that she doesn't have to open her mouth to get food in. She is amazingly funny with that gap and insists all her other teeth are loose now too!

Cute blog, Kristine! I didn't know you had one. I'm officially a stalker now! And congrats on the losing the tooth. That's better than when I lost mine: they were all pulled with pliers when they were loose. No good memories from those days!
