Gracie's Tooth

Gracie lost her first tooth just a few short weeks after her sister. She wouldn't let us touch it while still loose in her mouth. Yes, that little tooth held on until the bitter end, finally falling out during breakfast. I was getting ready to take the girls to preschool when she came running into the bathroom hysterically screaming, holding the little treasure she had rescued from her mouth before it was swallowed with pieces of banana. She was completely overjoyed by what had happened. Gracie, like her sister, has not turned over the tooth to the fairy yet. The consensus at this time is that they will wait until they both lose two teeth and then give the fairy all 4 at once. They always seem to make their own rules for these traditional practices which keeps things interesting around here. Here is Gracie in the summer 2004 showing off her bottom baby teeth. Congrats my baby girl!
