I will start this post with it being known that Brinley has been dying to lose a tooth since May of last year! She asked the dentist what she could do to help her loosen them and he told her to eat lots of corn on the cob and apples. So for the last year, she has asked for those daily! By March, she was quite concerned why she was the only kid in her class that hasn't lost a tooth. All we could tell her is that the Smith's have strong teeth bones and it takes a while for their teeth to fall out (true story per Jason's mom). When we visited our dentist again in June, she questioned him again. He told her her two bottom teeth were moving (barely) and he bet she would lose her first tooth before school starts.
Monday night (two weeks before school starts) she bit into her red beans and rice with sausage and out her tooth came. It wasn't really loose, it just popped out. Of course I had trouble distinguishing her tooth from the rice, so she had to spit out what was in her mouth into a bowl so I could find her tooth. We put her tooth into the pillow and the tooth fairy left her a glittery dollar bill ("mom, she left her magic on the dollar")
Needless to say, this girl has been grinning nonstop to show everyone her hole and now she is wanting to work on the tooth next to it getting loose......I have never seen a kid so excited to lose teeth!!!!
