Ryan lost his first tooth. I’m pretty sure it was August 21. A Thursday. He came to me that morning with an open mouth and said, “Look.”  I had no frame of reference so I peered into his open mouth and said, “What?”

That’s when he took his little finger and wiggled his little tooth. Not just a little back and forth…it was very, very lose. I was aghast!  Did you hit your mouth on something? Did someone hit you? What in the world caused this little five-and-a-half-year-old who has completed every milestone behind his older siblings lose a tooth at least 6 months before any of my other children?

As we were eating dinner that night he gave a little “Oh!” and spit his tooth into his hand. Then held it up for all to see…. “my tooth!!”

So yeah, it’s gone. And his adult one is already growing in. The kids realized all our kids are missing teeth in one way or another!
