Lost!
Kalei has waited a LONG time to lose this tooth. It seems that all her friends at school lost teeth months ago. She said months ago "my tooth is loose!" It really wasn't but she really wanted it to be. She had her finger in her mouth constantly trying to force it to be loose. In time that got old and she moved on to something else. But then a couple of weeks ago it really got loose! Oh how excited she was! Shawn told her she should pull it out herself. I thought that was just plain mean, but whatever daddy says goes. A few days of fierce wiggling and a little twisting and it was ready to come out. But Kalei wasn't ready to pull it... until in got in her way of eating a corn dog! We were at Red Robin before a gymnastics meet and she said "mommy, my tooth won't let me eat". I explained she had 2 choices: She could take fate in her own hands and go to the restroom and pull it or she could she what happens while she eats her ENORMOUS corndog and risk swallowing her tooth! She went to the restroom and pulled it out! I thought that was a wise choice!
It seems like just yesterday that my Kalei girl was cutting her first tooth. I thought she was getting too big too fast then! Now she has lost her first tooth... I mean she is really getting too big too fast. Trace Adkins was right when he wrote, "Your Gonna Miss This". I miss my Kalei as a baby and now as she is growing so rapidly into a young girl, I find myself searching her face for that baby I loved and nurtured. Thankfully. I find her...
(notice her little, white tooth buds and drool!)
