Ever since Mallory started losing teeth, she’s been on this “I DON’T WANT YOU TO PULL IT OUT BECAUSE I WANT TO LOSE IT AT SCHOOL SO I CAN GET A TREASURE CHEST!!!” This results in some disgustingly loose teeth that hang on by a thread for weeks and weeks longer than they need to because she is waiting for it to fall out at school.
Tooth #4 had been ready to come out for a while and we were back on tooth watch.
So the day that Mallory got off the bus yesterday and I said tooth watch and she gave me a shy smile, I KNEW her tooth had fallen out and I started doing a little dance right on the sidewalk. Then I asked if she got her treasure chest and she nodded so then I started singing a song to go with my dance to celebrate that she finally got her treasure chest. Then she got *really* embarrassed so I had to stop singing and dancing.
So, here it is – our sweet girl and lost tooth #4!
