What's next... Prom?
I just posted a couple weeks back about the lil' munchkin losing her first tooth, even though she's not even quite 4 and a half. The permanent tooth had poked its head through the gums and is making sure that soon my little gap-toothed muchkin has a snaggle tooth smile with both big and small teeth splattered throughout her smile.
A few days after she lost her first tooth, I noticed that its neighbor was a bit wiggly as well and declared to Beloved that it would be gone before the end of the month. Throughout the weekend, I know the lil' munchkin had to grow tired as I continually asked to see her gap only to inspect the neighbor and see how much it wiggled. by Saturday, it could lay nearly all the way forward and I was convinced it was coming out.
By Monday evening, she showed it to me and Beloved lovingly joked that we needed to pull it out. That earned a finger wagging lecture from the lil' munchkin, "I said in the car that NO ONE is pulling my tooth out!" We finished our dinner and I began to look for a dessert that she would have to bite into and remembered the brownies I had made the night before. She happily accepted none the wiser to my ulterior motives and devoured it within minutes.
As I cleaned up the kitchen, she headed upstairs to get pajamas on and I suddenly heard the pitter-patter of littl munchkin feet and the excitement radiating from her as she yelled, "Mommy, my tooth came out!" She brought it down to me and I saw the newly vacated gumline.
She then had to call both sets of grandparents and inform them, "I lost two toofs."
Can this child do anything slowly?
