Today was a big day for our darling Kayden. She lost her first tooth!!! While we are super excited for her, it has been a LOOOOONG time coming. When Kayden went to the dentist about 6 months ago, her dentist said she had a loose tooth. This made me hot and sweaty because I was so not ready for my little girl to lose a tooth! Dramatic much?😁 When we got home I checked this “loose” tooth and it was tight, tight, tight! There was no loose tooth in my observation!

Anyway, the time has finally come for that tooth to fall out. It all started last night when Kayden looked at me and said, “Mommy, my tooth hurts.” I looked at her and her tooth was literally pointing towards her tonsils. Major gross out!!!

Auntie Kel was in the neighborhood, so she and Ian stopped over to see if they could assist. Fail. Kayden wasn’t having it at all! Which, of course, means that I was going to lose sleep over whether or not she was going to lose her tooth in the middle of the night and choke on it!! She sleeps on her back with her mouth open- hey it could have happened!! Luckily, it didn’t! She babied the tooth all morning and then must have forgotten about it by brushing time because she wasn’t paying attention and literally spit her tooth out into the sink. Right as she spit I happened to have turned on the water to clean the toothpaste off of the sink, and we nearly washed the tooth down the drain. I grabbed it and we all squealed and laughed and ran around the house because the darn thing was FINALLY out! Honestly, I was hoping it would fall out at school so I didn’t have to deal with it, but it wasn’t that bad… For either of us!! Congratulation Kayden on losing your very first tooth today- 5/11/16!! You handled it like a champ. And Ms. Bailey is right, you do look older!
