Amelie's first lost tooth

Last Sunday, as we were getting ready to leave for Mary's seminary graduation, Amelie came to me worried because her first loose tooth was bleeding. I told her it was time to pull it. She and Billy headed tot he bathroom where she let him yank it the rest of the way out. She cried for a few minutes, then smiled big to show us the window in her mouth. She placed her tiny tooth in a baggy and hung onto it for who knows how long. It is now MIA, which means she has yet to have a visit from the tooth fairy as she has no tooth to offer. But she is sure proud of the gap in her teeth! She learned two loose tooth songs in kindergarten and still goes around the house singing them. And she has another loose tooth that she is working on now--the joys of children!
