The comings and going of teeth

We've had a busy month in our house with teeth. Some falling out and some coming in.
Corrine lost her 1st tooth on June 6th-the afternoon before the last day of 1st grade. She wanted to lose a tooth in 1st grade and was so excited that it finally happened. (We have late tooth getters and losers in our family.)


There's a story behind how it FINALLY fell out. It's been lose for honestly 8 months, but not until the last 6 weeks or so was it really lose. The adult tooth started growing in under it, but then started coming in behind it which made it hard to wiggle, and it also wasn't pushing it out. It was the afternoon before the last day of school. Corrine and Ammon were throwing a tennis ball around in the backyard. Corrine missed catching the ball and it hit her in the mouth. She came in crying. Johann said her tooth was about to fall out, so she grabbed it and it came out! Ammon was proud that he got to help her with losing her 1st tooth and Corrine got to go tot he last day of school and proudly show off her gap.


Now on the other hand little miss Rebecca has FINALLY cut through some teeth. She's had swollen gums for months and you could even feel the teeth ( 6 of them) under the gums, but they just wouldn't come through. This past month she has gotten 4 teeth. She started with a "fang", then she got her bottom front teeth last week, and her other "fang" just broke through this past weekend. Her two front top teeth are looking close, but aren't there yet.
