Losin' some teeth

You may have noticed that both Paige and Kate lost their first tooth recently. You may also have noticed that Kate is only 3. Most kids don't lose their first tooth until they are 5 or 6. Well, Kate is really advanced.

Just kidding. About 6 weeks ago, we were staying in a hotel and she was trying to climb on the windowsill to look out at a little rabbit. Of course she fell and landed on the edge of the pack 'n play. Her mouth was bleeding a little bit, but it didn't look too bad. And then I realized that one of her bottom teeth was super wiggly. We took her to the dentist and she said that her gums would tighten around the tooth and that it would be fine.

Nope. It got looser and looser until it was just hanging by a thread, so Kate pulled it right out. So now she will be toothless for 2 or 3 years... or more. Nice. It's very fitting. Kate is always getting hurt.

Paige was so jealous when Kate lost her tooth. She had one wiggly tooth (the same tooth as Kate actually) and she was dying to get a visit from the tooth fairy. About 2 weeks after Kate pulled her tooth out, Paige lost her first tooth also. She pulled it out herself when we were driving back from my sister's wedding in Idaho.

Exciting times around here!

I think those dresses look cuter with white shirts underneath. We should have done that for the wedding. That's a cute picture

How funny! I bet Paige was ticked! Tru is dying to lose a tooth. They look so cute in their little outfits!
