Today we had some friends over, and Allison came up from the playroom and said her teeth just all of the sudden started hurting in a weird way. Upon further questioning, she said that it was one tooth. It just sorta popped and hurt in a weird way. She was covering her mouth in a bit of shock. I asked her to let me see…and you guessed it. That tooth is a wiggling away in there! Real loose like a long necked goose Like a–oh baby, that’s a-what I like! We were beginning to wonder if she would EVER loose any teeth. She turns 7 in two months..her friends all started loosing teeth when they were around five and six years old!
Initial reactions – delight, pride, happiness, but within an hour those reactions were replaced with ones of trepidation and fear of eating with that tooth or anyone actually touching that tooth. Well if she doesn’t eat with it or allow anyone to touch it, that tooth may stick around a while.
Oh yay Allison! Can’t wait to hear about it popping out!
