Maura lost her first tooth on December 22, 2010. Her two bottom teeth were loose for a while. I thought it would happen any day for the last month. She was hoping it would happen any day for the last six months. It seemed her baby teeth really liked her mouth as they stuck around pretty long. It was getting pretty disheartening to her that all her friends (most younger) were losing their teeth, then her little cousin Caitlin, then to really rub it in Chloe (Mag's bff) lost hers! So I told her, in desperation, the longer they stayed in, the better the "prize" from the Tooth Fairy. ell, that made her a little happier.
This last week they were very loose. I mean sideways in her mouth loose. On Wednesday she stayed at the Y to swim with her cousins and it was barely holding on. Luckily they rushed home where she yelled for me to run downstairs. I did and she showed me sideways-barely-holding-on-bloody tooth. She calmly said she was going to take it out. And she did... just pulled it right out.
The next day her second tooth fell out. She kept both on her shelf. She wanted to put them under her pillow Christmas Eve (I may have mentioned how cool that would be). So the Tooth Fairy and Santa left her a little something. Mags collected the Fairy Dust left behind by the fairy (Maura did not notice that, just the golden coins and moo-lah). I hope it was worth the wait.
