Brand New Smile



As if there weren't enough changes going on around here, Lizzy lost her first tooth! That tooth had been hanging on for a while, then when we were eating dinner at Pat's work party, I noticed it missing. We looked all around, but couldn't find it. We're assuming it was swallowed. Lizzy was a little sad at first, but quickly bounced back. She wrote a note to the tooth fairy explaining the situation, tucked it inside her new cat tooth pillow that we had made, and was excited to see what happened. Of course with that tooth gone, she has a brand new smile. It's brilliant and beautiful as ever, but it is different. I'm taking a little while to get used to it. Every time I see that little gap, I'm reminded how big she is now. It shouts out to me- I'm big, and there's no turning back! You think this is different? Wait until they all start to go! Lizzy's big, bright smile has always been one of my favorite things about her. I guess it's pretty exciting, and special, to get to have a brand new smile.
