Sophia lost her first tooth on Saturday, November 20th. It had been super loose for a long time, but she did not want anyone touching it and would not try to pull it out herself...so we waited. We had planned to head to the mall after Steve got home from work (yes, he works a half-day most Saturdays) so the girls could have their picture taken with Santa. Sophia was eating a cheesestick when he got home and she was super excited to show Steve just how amazingly loose her tooth was. She opened her mouth to show him...and the tooth was gone! I wish I had a camera ready to capture the look of utter surprise...priceless! So, where did it go? I checked the cheesestick...no tooth. I couldn't imagine that she had swallowed it, but I've heard of that happening. Then she started telling me about the "hard bite of cheese" in her cheesestick. She had bit into something hard and had spit it into the garbage. Thankfully, it wasn't very full or messy. I began to carefully pull things out of the trash and discovered one tooth just patiently waiting to be found. I was really happy that we found it so easily...so was Sophia :) Under the pillow it went and the Tooth Fairy kindly left her a $2 bill...the first tooth is special and therefore gets a special dollar according to the note that the Tooth Fairy also left. And we merrily went on our way to the mall and had this photo taken a few hours later.
The close up was taken today...her new tooth is making good, crooked progress~
God bless~
