About a month ago we had a tragic dental accident at Grandma's house. Haley's little front tooth came down hard, and I mean as hard as it could be when a five year old drops from a chin up bar on a doorway and lands on a little cousin's head (no cousin's head was injured in the process, amazingly enough...) but it meant the end for Haley's poor tooth.
We watched from day to week as the pearly white turned a shade of pink, blue, then gray. This week we went to the dentist and the darling baby tooth was put to rest.
She'll only be toothless for 2 years! Isn't that fabulous? She was all grins the entire day...it was no question where she had been--the gaping space says it all.
That night:
Haley: Mom, is the tooth fairy very big....or very tiny?
Mom: uh, I don't know, I've never seen her.
Abby: Haley, she is very tiny.
Haley: Oh.

My brother's two oldest kids have both lost their front teeth early...Hannah when she was two (month hitting edge of paino) and Brock when he was six (two top teeth pulled after falling and them getting infected). It's fun when they start growing in becuase you won't really remeber her without the hole!
i love their conversations. Ha ha.
i would cry if this happened....for a long time
