A few days ago Natali woke up saying her tooth was "wiggily". She complained that it HURT. I don't remember loose teeth hurting. A few days later at dinner she bit into her strawberry and burst into tears. "It hurst, it hurts!" were her screams. Finally she was dismissed from the table (I refuse to eat dinner and listen to crying kids). She moaned & wailed. Suddenly there was silence. She came back to the kitchen with a GIANT grin and a small tooth in her hand! She did it all by herself. Plucked that loose tooth right from her mouth. That night the TOOTH FAIRY made her first of many debuts to come at our house. She left a WHOPPING $1. Natali ran into our room the next morning shouting, "She came, she came!" (I kind of felt guilty.) She has been so excited about this milestone in her life.
Side note: Today Natali was with me as I ran into 7-11 for a Super Big Gulp (my first in 4 years). As I was checking out Natali leans into me and says..."Mom she lost a tooth like me!" No Nattles...she is just missing her front tooth, and the one that is there looks like it should be lose." It was one of those moments I just prayed that nobody else heard her.

Meysa can't wait to lose her first tooth either. She currently has two that are loose and she is frantically working on both of them!!!
I love comments like that from kids to strangers; they just say it like it is!
What a funny story about the gas station. I can't believe she's already lost a tooth!! Elizabeth will be jealous if I show her this post! =)
