As of today Morgan is 4 1/2 years old... and as of today Morgan is without 1 tooth!!! She lost her first tooth this morning. It all started a few weeks ago when she was showing us that she could move her tooth with her fingers and thought it was pretty cool. Then this past weekend, we were eating with friends and all of the sudden her tooth became Really loose! So Randall messed with it a bit and loosened it even more. And this morning at breakfast, she bit into her first bite of waffle and started screaming as she immediately saw blood.
"Yikes! It's Time!" thought Randall as he took a tissue, reached in and barely touched it before it came right out. He didn't even know it was out until he looked into the tissue. And this is a really "fresh picture" after the "some what traumatic" event....
Here she is at "her reward lunch"... we decided to eat out for lunch today and Morgan brought along her coins with the intent to spend it.
Here's a little background on that tooth: When Morgan was around 1 y/o and starting to walk, she fell and hit her bottom tooth on the stairs. We watched it closely the following year as it started turning dark (thankfully it was on the bottom, so it didn't effect her smile too much). Then we took her to a Dentist (back in the States) over 2 years ago and she did an x-ray and said that the root was dead and that she would not pull it, but for us to let it fall out naturally, since it was only a baby tooth.
If you look closely in these 2 pics, you can see on the bottom-center row, the dark little tooth.
Today after the tooth came out, we noticed that a new tooth is already coming in, but due to Morgan's age (by the way, the average age is 6 y/o for loosing a 1st tooth), we took her to the Dentist here to check it out and make sure it was not infected, esp since the hole is pretty deep. The Dentist said Morgan looks great and that so far, everything looks good! What a Praise!
And so she waits.... for the "tooth fairy" to add to her collection of coins!
