First tooth

In October, Abby Jane lost her first tooth rather unceremoniously in a hamburger one night! The funny part is that Jake lost his first tooth in a hamburger as well... except he mistook the tooth for a piece of onion at first. She just said, "Mama! My tooth just came out!" So sweet, so fun.

Sure enough, the tooth fairy came that night! Since the girls all share a room, Blythe and Joy were pretty pumped about her making a visit. Joy says she saw the tooth fairy fly in. Tooth fairy must need to be a little sneakier next time.

She lost another tooth a couple of weeks later, and we're working on a third right now. It's so ironic how lost teeth make them look younger, yet it's a mark of growing older. I think that's a kindness of God. Softens the blow on a mama's heart. Such a fun little stage she's in, though!
