A Miracle of All Miracles

IT finally happened. After six and a half long years of waiting; watching others go before her, being the last in her class to reach such achievements - the momentous occasion finally bestowed itself on Beeb.


She lost her first tooth!




On Monday Beeb was playing at the neighbors house (no school). I got a call in the early afternoon from our little neighbor girl who announced to me that Beeb lost her tooth. Beeb got on the phone and told me she was doing a limbo under a bar they have in their basement and she accidentally hit her chin on the bar. With her hands splayed out in front of her her tooth ejected from her mouth upon her chin making contact and landed in Beeb's hand! Isn't that amazing?!

When she came home she brought her tooth in a little clear bag and I inspected the gap. That's when I noticed that her new tooth had already pushed its way up through her gums and was hiding behind her baby tooth.

On top of that Beeb's recent x-ray at the dentist shows that when her permanent teeth do come in she'll be one short. Two of her front lower baby teeth are fused together and it looks like only one will take their place. The girl has some strange things going on.



The tooth fairy visited her and left her $5.00 for this milestone. Beeb quickly promised the money to her girl scout friend for a box of Thin Mints.

Congrats! That is such a fun milestone.

But can you let the tooth fairy know that $5.00 is setting bar a little high for the other kids who usually only get a dollar :)

Yes she knows the infated amount only happens with the first tooth, the rest go back to minimum tooth loss amount as factored by the tooth index at the time of loss. (usually $1.00) ;-)
