2 down...18 to go

Dearest Jackson,

When we visited the dentist in the Spring, we were surprised when she informed us about your 2 loose teeth!  She told us that they'd probably fall out before your next dental appointment so we kept tabs on them sporadically.  While they were wiggling a bit more, I didn't think they were on the verge of falling out just yet.  Then, on Sunday the 29th, you exclaimed, "My tooth is going to fall out!"  Sure enough, during teeth brushing that night, we saw that it was well on its way out.  So I wasn't surprised when the nurse emailed me that next morning to tell me that you lost your first tooth.  





I picked you up as soon as I could that day and we went on a congratulatory ice cream date!  


You proudly left your tooth under your pillow and the tooth fairy visited you that night.  


Monday's events allowed more wiggle room for your other loose tooth and you pulled that one out in the middle of class that same week on Friday, October 4th.  Disgustingly enough, that lovely tooth is floating around your school somewhere because you misplaced it before you ever came home! 


As simple as that, those lower incisors, who were the first to make their appearance when you were just 7 months old, were the first to exit at 65 months old.

And wouldn't you know it - you have a dentist appointment tomorrow!!
