Emily's Missing Tooth

Emily is so excited!! She lost a tooth at camp today. And technically it is her first lost tooth. Sure the bottom two were pulled by the dentist and the permanent teeth are already in ... but that isn't the same as the whole "oh my goodness my tooth fell out" experience.

I guess she was eating her snack today at camp and she bit in and the tooth basically came out, although it was hanging by a thread. But she was too freaked out to let the counselor take care of it because it was already hurting. Finally one of the counselors said, "Hey look, is that Lauren?" and when Emily looked, she yanked the rest of the tooth out and Emily barely knew.

Emily loves that it is out and has already gotten by the whole "I can only eat soft foods" phase. And she can't wait for the tooth fairy to come tonight.
