On October 20th KK lost her first tooth. It happened at Ama's house and no one knows where it is. By now it is probably sitting safely inside the vacuum cleaner bag, where we will surely never find it! For weeks we had been asking, no, BEGGING her to pull it out or let us give it a try, but she would not let anyone close to it. Jim had a hold of it at one point, but could not get a grip on it, so his fingers slid off. The doctor told her to wiggle it, morning and night, and we kept reminding her to wiggle. She would wiggle the tooth for two whole seconds and move on to more pressing things, such as bug her mother to draw (yet another) horse so she could complete the picture with whatever her imagination conjured up at that moment.
The new tooth was already completely through and things started to look alarmingly crooked there for a while. All is well that ends well, as they say. It doesn't even look like she lost a tooth already!
Guess what? She has another loose tooth. Maybe this time we get to leave it for the tooth fairy (instead of leaving a note explaining why there is no tooth), who will then give it to mommy for safekeeping and sweet memories...
