What's Missing?

Since Abbie started kindergarten, she has been constantly asking when she is going to lose a tooth. A few months ago we went to the dentist and she told Abbie that since she got her teeth later (around 11 months) she probably would be a little older before she lost any. She assured me that her teeth were in no way ready to come out. Well, a couple of weeks ago Abbie told me that she had two loose teeth. I blew it off and kept reminding her the dentist said it would be awhile. When I finally bothered to check, sure enough her two front, bottom teeth were loose. On Thursday she hit her mouth on something and the first of two teeth became loose enough to pull out. She was so brave when Pete pulled it out. This is our child who usually has a breakdown when any medical intervention - including but not limited to LOOKING at a sore- is needed. Today, Pete pulled out her second tooth out. I guess if it were Christmas we would be singing "All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth". Congrats Abbie - and again - you were right and I was wrong!
