Kate loses tooth #2

Kate lost tooth #2 -- another lower incisor -- today. It came out as she arrived at school in the morning, although she lost it temporarily in the hubbub as the kids streamed into school. Thankfully Audrey and Kate's friend Cora helped her get some adult attention to help stop the bleeding and find the tooth out on the pavement. She got to bring the tooth home in a little envelope to leave for the Tooth Fairy tonight.

Kate loses her first tooth

Kate lost her first tooth today! It was a lower incisor. She and Audrey were goofing off in the bathroom and the tooth came out in a towel they were playing with. She put it in an envelope for her first visit from the Tooth Fairy.

Dental duo

Just in time to help with the Easter-candy sugar splurge, Audrey and Kate had dentist appointments today. Maybe Dada should have asked for a discount since Audrey has so many fewer teeth to clean right now . . . 

Tooth loss continues

Audrey lost her sixth baby tooth this evening. Mama accidentally snagged the wiggly tooth with a washcloth during bath time and dislodged it.

Yet another tooth gone

Only six days after losing her fourth baby tooth, Audrey lost her fifth one today. This one she pushed loose with her tongue.

Another tooth gone

Audrey lost her fourth baby tooth today. It was a top incisor that had been loose for weeks (maybe months?).  It was hanging by just a thread of tissue, and with some encouragement from Honey, she pulled it out herself. She wrote a note for the Tooth Fairy.

Another tooth gone

Audrey lost her third baby tooth today, at school. It was one of her top two incisors, both of which have been loose and wiggly for some time (she had been avoiding eating foods that required her to take bites with the two loose ones for many weeks).

She said she was cleaning up after choosing time and tripped and hit her mouth on a chair. Apparently the only injury from this dramatic-sounding incident was the knocking out of the tooth. Her teacher had a special little envelope for her to put the tooth in to bring home.

Tooth #2 comes out (and then disappears)

Audrey lost her second baby tooth this evening, a lower incisor that was a neighbor to the first tooth that came out in early May. Unfortunately, she didn't realize it came out and we and she are pretty sure she swallowed it. She was a bit distraught that she wouldn't be able to leave it for the Tooth Fairy, but we told her if she wrote a note explaining what happened the Tooth Fairly will still consider leaving her a gift.

Audrey loses her first baby tooth!

This evening at 6:22, Audrey lost her first baby tooth. It had been wiggly for a few weeks, but over the last couple of days seemed especially ready to come out. Audrey finally dislodged it unintentionally while trying to use her teeth to pull a sliver from some bark mulch out of her hand. She was quite excited about it, and eagerly got it ready for the Tooth Fairy to pick up.
