It's Official.....

Katie has a loose tooth! That was going to be the title for my post last night until it got too late and I went to bed. Today, the title changed to.....

It's Official......Katie lost her first tooth!!!

Here is the picture from last night when we first discovered she had a slightly, hardly noticeable loose tooth


A mere 18 hours later and here is what we have, or don't have I should say...


Can you believe that? It all happened so fast I'm still in shock. I guess I wasn't very prepared to have Katie losing teeth yet! I was completely unaware of the the apparent, yet surprising attatchment I had to the tooth. I know that sounds weird and I'm OK now, really.
Uncle Roland was the kind person who happily pulled out the tooth and it was quite quick and relatively painless, so I hear. I witnessed the whole thing. Katie took it better than me or Sammy. In fact, after we were back in the car on the way home Sammy started crying and when I asked him why he was sad he said, "Katie doesn't have anymore teeth and I don't want Uncle Roland to yank all my teeth out!!" He was consoled and will be happy to have Uncle Roland pull his teeth out when the time comes. That is if Uncle Roland is still a willing participant :) Anyway, it was very exciting and the tooth fairy has paid a visit to Katie and you just can't believe you have read so much about 1 child losing a tooth in your life (if anyone is still reading at this point).
