Caroline finally lost a tooth!!!
After weeks of wiggling her lower middle tooth, and a couple of nights of intense whining about how her tooth was bothering her and she wanted to get rid of it. And then, one night, she "just felt something" on her tongue and it was her tooth!
She got it cleaned and under her pillow and then right before they went to sleep, her brothers reminded her she needed to make a video like they had for their first tooth.
And when she awoke, there was a shiny coin waiting for her under her pillow!
The tooth right next to her "gap" is wiggling too and her teacher, a self-proclaimed expert on losing teeth, tells her she has just a few days to wait.
And then a few days later, Daniel bit down hard on something at dinner and screamed as his mouth filled with blood. He freaked out and came running in to show me. The front tooth next to the gap from his extraction earlier in the year had been wiggling for a while and it had gotten pulled out a bit more. He decided he didn't want to eat anymore and he just wanted to have a popsicle to make it feel better. And then he bit down on the popsicle and his tooth came out. Of course.
The front teeth are his biggest teeth and they are well spread out to start with, so he now is nearly completely toothless in his smile.
As he put his tooth under his pillow, I told him his teacher might not recognize him at school with that big gap in his mouth and he reassured me, "It's ok, I'll have my name tag." Practical to the last.
