January 29th, Marley bit into the crusty shell of a French loaf bread and yelped "ouch"! Then she realized her bottom tooth was now loose. I may have yelled, jumped...freaked out as Marley then told everyone. I mean, come on! My baby's tooth was LOOSE! What?! I think my reaction was similar, if not more intense, then when she got the tooth...which holy crap, feels like it was just last month. Didn't she just get all her teeth? Now they are falling out??? It doesn't help that I'm a bit squeemish about body parts coming off. She loved to wiggle that tooth and freak me out even more.
I knew it would be coming out soon, so I got one last picture of her with ALL of her baby teeth still in tact.
And then this past Tuesday, the inevitable happened.
And that missing tooth's neighbor looks like it wants to escape too. She was the one that freaked out when she saw the photo above and wanted to know why the other tooth was so "ugly" - I told her it wasn't ugly, just crooked because his friend isn't there to support him anymore. I give the 2nd tooth til the end of the weekend before it falls out.
And you KNOW I was prepared for this moment. I purchased this little tooth fairy pillow on etsy ages ago.
It has her named stitched on it and a little pocket in the back for her to put her tooth in. She did not want to give up the tooth though, she wanted to keep it...but she also wanted a dollar from the tooth fairy. It was quite the internal struggle. I told her we could just give her a dollar for the tooth and let her keep it - and you know - just cut out the tooth fairy altogether. This didn't really safisfy her though because don't you know, "the tooth fairy dollars are MAGICAL". Ha! That cracked me up.
Hahahaha. My wife also freaked out when she saw our daughter's teeth loosening up. I guess it's perfectly normal for moms to react that way. These are some great shots you took, by the way.
