This weekend Loryn lost her first legitimate tooth. Her first tooth loss was unnatural, as it was robbed from her as a baby by the wicked dentist. It had been split right down the middle due to some mysterious accident in her grandparents' basement.Anyway, she was thrilled to finally experience a loose tooth for the first time. She had been dreading the actual loss because her pain threshold is next to nothing. She actually cried hysterically at the thought of the inevitable pain. But mommy unintentionally pried it loose during a routine wiggle, and Loryn didn't even know it happened! Beautifully done. The tooth fairy compensated her richly and she couldn't have been more pleased with yet another foray into big girlhood.
You may not be able to tell, but the tooth to replace the lost tooth had already grown in quite a bit. And the space we have been accustomed to for the past five years is finally sporting a tooth also. All I can say is that we better start saving our nickels for what will surely be a whopping orthodontist bill.
