Holly's first lost tooth seems as good as any reason to start blogging again.
Being a mom is so fun! It was so exciting to first discover the loose tooth and then to have it come out. Throughout all of kindergarten, Holly watched her classmates wiggle their teeth and loose them and as any child can tell you, especially Greta, it's agonizing to want to loose a tooth! One day Holly's tooth became noticeably more loose. I still didn't think it would come out, but she worked on it for a while until she pulled it out herself. I'm convinced that it was painful - there was a good amount of blood before it even came out. But Holly was determined to finally lose a tooth!
The night the tooth fairy came. As Conor and I tucked Greta more snuggly into bed, she woke up, disappointed that the tooth fairy had not come. Little did she know...
Holly's not big on smiling with her teeth, but when I catch a glimpse of the hole in her smile, I think it's completely adorable!
