Not quite, but that's definitely how it feels. Actually, the truth is she lost her first tooth. There are always so many small steps to leaving the 'baby' behind and I feel this is the last one. I really shouldn't be surprised, its been loose for about 3 months but its still hard to accept. She sounds so cute, the little lisp to her speech - adorable - and she's so proud. She had to call both grandmas to let them in on her news.
We were sitting at supper, eating like every other night. Laura was eating a cob of corn and all of a sudden we hear "pfff" then 'ping'. Mike and I look at each other thinking there was a hard kernal on her cob until Laura says to me, "mom, can you see my loose tooth". I look at it and its gone. I do a hunt through the food on her plate and come up with the little tooth - so small, all by itself - but such a big milestone for my girl.
I'll post some pictures later.
