At some point I'd like to think that pearls of wisdom will drop from my children's lips on a regular basis. For now, however, we are contenting ourselves with falling chunks of dental enamel. Half an hour after bedtime L came scurrying out all a twitter, sporting a newly widened gap in her pearly whites. Tooth #2 made a break for it. This one didn't give as much lead-up drama as the first. While eating dinner earlier this evening she had taken a bite and given a quick squeal of pain; she opened her mouth to show her previously slightly jiggly tooth was now flat out floppy. So this one we sort of expected. That didn't abate the excitement, however. Giddy girl was bouncing around as if she'd won more than just the incisor lotto. Such excitement is highly contagious, so soon her as-of-yet fully-toothed brother was out of bed to join the celebration. Quick phone calls to Uncle Kyle, Poppa and Aunt Claudia helped channel the enthusiasm. She's back in bed now, but I expect we will be waiting quite a while before we hear any snoring.
I suggested to Stacy that the Tooth Fairy might leave a note thanking L for the second tooth, and letting her know she'll be back tomorrow with some pliers for the rest of them.
