They came out!!

I posted a long while back that Ellie had some loose teeth (at the tender age of not-quite-four!). Well, she waited and waited and waited. The teeth got looser and looser until they were hanging by threads. Finally one came out! Or rather it was helped out by her daddy. She very excitedly placed it in her brand new tooth box (which came fortuitously in her stocking), and the next morning she was thrilled to find that the tooth fairy had brought her 5 shiny dimes! The remaining loose tooth seemed as if it couldn't last another day, but actually hung on for another week or so, finally coming out with some determined wiggling in the car one day. We managed to hang on to it without losing it in the car until we got home, placed it in the magical tooth box, and lo and behold, the next morning, 5 more shiny dimes! She was so very excited. Somewhere in there Ben lost a tooth too, and Madeline has one that she is sure is going to come out very soon.



Here are some pictures of Ellie first with one tooth missing and then with two missing...
