Toothless Wonder!

Last Saturday night Parker came running into the living room freaking out because her tooth wiggled. I tried not to freak to scare her, but I was thinking what in the heck! She's only 4. I called a friend of mine who is a hygienist. She recently discovered that Parker's 6yr molar is coming in in the back of her mouth! She said it was normal and that her adult teeth were just ready to come in! I was relieved to hear that it wasn't tooth decay or something that was making her teeth fall out! It was drama from then on out. She was terrified of having a hole in her mouth. So we called all of our family and they expressed their excitement for her and talked about the tooth fairy with her. It eased her tension and the panic disappeared! And then we discovered that both front bottom teeth were loose!

On Sunday, she spent the entire day wiggling that tooth. Eventually she was able to stick her tongue under it and flip it forward. By late afternoon, it was sideways and twisted! Right before dinner I told her I was going to dry it off for her, but instead, I yanked it. We were so excited, that she couldn't even remember if it hurt! She was so excited to put it under her pillow.

That next morning she completely forgot until I reminded her to check! She was so excited that she got money!

That was the first tooth! Last night I went to pick the girls up and her second tooth was sooo loose and barely hanging on. I got up to get a tissue and Grandma Rosie accidentally bumped her arm when she was wiggling it and it knocked it out! She was so excited! She loves to stick food in her gap now!

Today we were cleaning out the garden and pitching some of the rotten veggies and came upon this massive zucchini! It was 24 in. long. 15 in. around. and weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. It was darn near the size I was when I was born, just a bit longer!
