It is Gone!

Exciting news! Ella lost her first tooth this evening! It has been really loose for the last few days and today she got the nerve to let me pull it. After it first came out she was pretty upset. She told me "but Mom, I promise I take care of my teeth." You know how we tell our kids, or at least I do, that if you don't brush your teeth they will fall out! I think she thought that was what had happened. I told her that this is exactly what it was supposed to do. I told her that her baby teeth have to fall out so that her big teeth can come in. This means you are growing up. Later this evening Ella told her Daddy that her baby teeth have to fall out so that her mamma teeth can come in.

 This is just more evidence that my baby is growing up!
