Toothless Wonder

I came home from Texas and discovered that Ellie had a very, very loose tooth! Brian didn't want anything to do with it. After a little persuasion, I talked Ellie into letting me wiggle it with a wet wash cloth. While I wiggled it, I quickly and very easily pulled it out. We both laughed. Ellie cried until she realized that it didn't hurt. Once she realized how exciting this was, she wanted to call everyone. She talked to Nannie, Pawpaw, Mimi, Papa Jim, Mamaw, Mom and Papa! She was thrilled. We sent text messages to Mandy, Caleb, Micah, Kelsey and Stephanie. This was a very exciting day for Ellie!

A little note, Ellie lost the tooth on the bottom right (if you are facing her). Yes, there is a gap next to the tooth that she lost. We are pretty sure that she is missing a tooth - it just never came in.

Ellie wasn't so sure about the Tooth Fairy. So we left her a little note on the kitchen table. The note politely requested that she leave Ellie's tooth. She just couldn't bear to not have it. Before school this morning, she showed me what the Tooth Fairy left. Apparently, she's more giving these days than she was when I was little.

Mollie and Ellie before we left for school this morning. Mollie is convinced that she too has a loose tooth. :)

In case you're wondering, Ellie took her tooth to school today to show her class. She showed all the teachers and everyone who would look the new gap in her mouth! My baby girl is growing up!
