The Tale of the Teeth

Melia being seven has started to see all her friends loosing teeth.  At first it was no big deal, but when hers didn't start to fall out it became a big deal.  Oh how she longed for that first missing tooth.  And then it happened.  The very first tiny little jiggle that let her know soon the tooth would be gone.  Melia is a very determined little girl and before long that tiny wiggle was a hole.

And soon after the first one went the second followed.  She was so happy that she had two missing teeth.  And it wasn't long before I heard Kellina claim she too had a loose tooth.  Now as siblings know sometimes being competitive is par for the course.  And so of course I thought Kellina was trying to one up her big sister, but when I checked she also had a loose tooth.  Her different personality meant it stayed loose a lot longer than Melia's.  And when I wouldn't pull it we had to rely on my dear friend to save the day.  Then not much later the second tooth was loose and dad pulled it.  Now they both are missing two front teeth.

And they are both very happy for each other.
