The Lost Tooth!

The day has finally come after what seemed like months- Audrey lost her first tooth! We were all very excited. Audrey's tooth had been hanging by a thread and I wanted to just yank it out but she wouldn't let me go near it. Also her big tooth was just about halfway grown in behind it as you can see from the picture. She was a little afraid and didn't know what to expect, naturally. On Friday afternoon her tooth kept doing a 180 driving her nuts so I knew the time was close. As she took her first bite of dinner that night she suddenly looked at me with surprise and a little fear in her eyes and said "It's not there!". I told her to spit out her bite and out fell her little tooth. She then had this mixed look of excitement and panic not knowing what to do next. I burst into an excited "Yay!" followed by a little happy dance in which she joined me in doing. Now she is happy to have joined the lost teeth club along with her friends and now brushing her teeth isn't quite a battle and those teeth next to the previous loose one will no longer be neglected. Now we look forward to the next one, or do we...
