All families deal with their kids loosing teeth. It is not supposed to be that big of a deal. Except if you live in our house. Maya has lost a total of four teeth. She starting loosing them when she was in the first grade. And I thought, oh good right on schedule. This is what I posted when she lost her first tooth "Maya lost her first tooth today! She is so proud!!! We brought it home and put it in the special pillow that I had when I was little. It looks like a tooth and it has a little pocket to put the tooth in so the tooth fairy can take it and leave you money!
Tonight, my child is leaving her a note. It says "I am sorry that my sister swallowed the tooth. Love Maya"
Yes.... As Maya was showing her little sister the special tooth, Meredith did what most two year olds would do, she put the tooth in her mouth, and before I could get it from her, she swallowed it! And no... I am not going to wait around for it!"
That happened in Feb. of 07. I figured she would start loosing them right and left after that. Boy was I wrong. She lost the second tooth in June of 07. That one she just reached in and pulled right out on her own. Or so she says, she was up visiting my parents in Kansas City when it went down. Very unexpected. She did not even have the cute pillow for the tooth fairy. But, that is ok, now she would start loosing them. July 2008, yes more than one year later, she finally looses more teeth, and again we have drama. When she left to go up to my parents house at the beginning of the summer, her front tooth was wiggly, not ready to come out yet, but soon. I thought for sure she would loose it by the time she came home. I was wrong! We went up there this past week end to pick her up, and it was still there. She ate apples, she ate corn on the cob, she wiggled, and pulled. We did everything to get that thing out and just did not want to come out. She did mention when we got there that she had another tooth on the bottom that was loose, but it was not that loose. With the experience from the current one, I figured it would be Christmas before it came out. On Friday morning she came running up the stairs, and her tooth on the bottom was missing. She fell and bit down and it just fell right out. (You should have seen the root on that sucker! It was soooo long) But the one on top was still there. (Hanging on a thread I might ad) And boy was that sucker stuck! We thought for sure it was stuck because of the roots on her teeth, and maybe the dentist might have to pull it. It would not come out no matter how hard we tried. We all worked on that tooth all evening hoping that she would have two to place under her pillow that night. (again she was missing her cute tooth pillow). The next day she popped right up, reached in and pulled her tooth right out! After all that work! Oh well! Who new that loosing teeth was going to be such an ordeal! I can only hope that the next ones to come out will be easy!
