Oh, the drama!
Loaf has her first loose tooth.
Last night, she was complaining of tooth pain on the bottom and when I checked, sure enough, one of her bottom center teeth has a slight wiggle to it.
She is SO excited. She has seen her sister lose six and reap the riches of the Tooth Fairy, so she’s dying to have her turn.
In addition to the excitement, the tooth has brought about a significant amount of drama. This morning while eating, she kept complaining of how much her loose tooth hurt.
"Oh my tooth, my tooth! It hurts sooooo much. I can’t eat my breakfast on this side so I have to keep my head titled in this direction,” she whimpered while tilting her head to the right.
What was she eating, you ask?
Well that is an excellent question. I’m sure you’re thinking it was an apple or piece of toast or some other hard, crispy food that requires the use of incisors.
NOPE!
It was a bowl of soggy corn flakes.
Not. Kidding.
My daughters are sweet and caring and tons of fun, but they are sometimes full of The Drama.
Fortunately, there is an end in sight. I figure she’ll lose that tooth in about . . . oh? 8 to 12 weeks?
Until then, I have a feeling there will be lots of head tilting and complaining about hard food and special requests for ice packs to soothe her aching, rootless tooth as it slowly releases itself from her gums. It's enough to make me want to lie on the floor and scream. I can't imagine where they get this from.

I dread River losing her teeth. There is the inevitable "my baby is growing up" part, but there's also the fact that she is sure to demand to be taken to a doctor to deal with the pain...the PAAAIIIIINNN.
Bless our hearts.
