So Lily finally lost her first tooth! It was A few weeks ago, the middle of April. It hadn't been loose for long and it didn't even seem very loose. She came and told me it was wiggly and wanted me to pull it out. I said she needed to wait until it was ready so that it wouldn't hurt. I sent her back outside to finish eating her snack (a granola bar) and to play with her friend. Two minutes later her friend came running in screaming that Lily's tooth had come out! Wow that was easy! With Ammon his teeth took forever to come out once they got loose, but he lost them much earlier than Lily. He lost his front teeth by the time he was 6 1/2. Lily is seven and has now officially lost her first. She didn't want to put it under her pillow that night. She wanted to wait until we went to Grandma's for Easter so she could see it. Thankfully the tooth fairy knew where Grandma lived and brought Lily a dollar in quarters! Lily was very happy! It is super-cute now because sometimes when she talks she accidentally whistles and she loves to drink from a straw with her teeth closed. Oh the fun tricks you can do without a tooth!
