Lost: Tooth

After a week of wiggling and wiggling, Isabelle's first tooth has finally come out. She's been so excited about her loosing her first tooth that she told everyone about it. Everyone. So I was surprised when she looked confused and then displeased once the tooth came out. She walked out of the room and into the bathroom where she examined her new smile in the mirror for a while. Then she came back to me for a hug and started to cry when she said, “But I like my smile with all my teeth.” For the girl that loves to smile, it was heartbreaking. Seriously, it made me want to cry for a moment.

The good news is, after a while we convinced her that all kids her age have a either a loose tooth or a missing tooth and that we found it completely adorable. So she’s smiling again and excited to compare lost teeth with all her school friends next week.
