Sometimes life gets busy and I don't always get to post as soon as I plan. Last week got crazy and Brent got sick and I just never got to the computer. Anyway, in this case it worked out that I waited. Last Monday after work, I sat down for just a few minutes with our tablet in the den and the girls were in here playing also. Suddenly, I hear Rachel say "Look, Mom!" I look to see her holding out bloody fingers and my first thought is "Oh no, she is having a nose bleed!" I then focus in on her face and realized that "Nope, her nose is not bleeding" at the same time I realize she is walking toward me with something in her fingers. Yes, she pulled another of her own teeth. This makes 4 teeth she has lost and to her, the really big deal was that this was her first top tooth to come out.
Yesterday I clocked out and met Brent and the girls for lunch and to take care of Bethany and noticed in Rachel's mouth that the tooth beside where she lost the tooth last week was almost sideways. I said "Rachel, why don't you go ahead and pull your tooth?" She said "No, it is not ready yet." This is from the child who has pulled all her own teeth so far and just hands them to us, so I said ok. Later in the evening when I got home from work, of course, there was a little clear cup waiting for me on the counter with her tooth in it
Yes, both top front teeth gone in one week. I asked her earlier today how it was eating without these teeth and she said "It's going great!"
I hope they will grow back in before she loses too many more though. I guess she can say "All I want for Easter is 'My Two Front Teeth'"
