Teeth!!

A couple weeks ago Kya lost her first tooth! It had been wiggly for a few days, and then one morning she and Ember came bursting into the room at 6:45 am…TURNED ON THE LIGHTS…to tell us that Kya had lost her tooth. She had just woken up and felt it in her mouth. She’s lucky she didn’t swallow it. It took a while for the tooth fairy to come because we tried to find a book like Ember has where you write letters to the tooth fairy and it has places where you put all of the details in about each lost tooth and so on and it has a pocket in the front that you put the tooth in, etc...but we couldn’t find one anywhere. (BTW, this was one of the errands that I was out doing on one of the days that Logan decided he couldn’t walk anymore, so I was carrying him with one arm and Peyton in her carseat in the other because places like Barnes & Noble of course does not have carts. Not fun!) But anyway, finally we had her write her own note to the tooth fairy and lo and behold, she came! What a happy day!

We have been saying for weeks now that Peyton is getting teeth. Isn’t that what parents always do once their child hits about 6 months and are ornery for no reason? Why not blame it on teething! Anyway, we thought it would’ve been funny if she would’ve finally gotten her first tooth on the day Kya lost hers, but no. But only about a week later, on Kya’s birthday no less, we did our daily mouth check, and sure enough, she had a tooth! I’m going to miss her toothless grin!!
