So, Karleigh has, yet again, a new smile! This most recent one came out last night. I just keep reminding myself that she has a finite number of teeth in her head so we likely won't go bankrupt... I mean, the tooth fairy won't. So, she's now missing the bottom two and the top one. It's hard to get a pic of her bottom teeth and really, she doesn't look all that different from when she lost her top one. That one was a shock! Rylan on the other hand, when he starts losing his teeth, the bottom will be more obvious since when he smiles or just goes about daily life, you notice his bottom teeth where with Karleigh, you notice her top teeth - something I hadn't noticed until recently, or something I just haven't thought about I guess.
That's our new Sunday smile. It will hopefully be a while before any more fall out. The other top one is sort of wiggly but I'm not touching it and neither is she. It wasn't at all wiggly until she and Rylan crashed the day after Christmas. They bonked so hard that she was bleeding around that top tooth so I'm hoping that it will firm back up. I'm actually surprised that it's taken this long for those bottom two to fall out. When she was 2 1/2 she smacked them so hard during gymnastics class. She was running top speed across the spring floor, towards my mom, and she tripped. Normally, she would have gotten right back up but she was in just the right spot that she had almost made it to the end of the raised floor so her chin hit the cement floor while the rest of her body was still about 6 inches above her on the padded floor. I took her to the dentist the next day and they took x-rays, confirmed that there wasn't any major damage and just had me feed her fairly soft foods for the next few days while the gums healed up. I'm impressed that they hung on for another 2 1/2 years!
The only thing that I'm bummed out about is that I never did get her 5 year photo before the bottom teeth fell out. Of course, things have been less than calm around here this past month, so I give myself a pass, but this is the first time in several years that I haven't taken a birthday photo within a day or two of the birthday. On the other hand, it's not like when we were kids and there are only a few decent photos floating around from the times in-between the Sears portraits. I take tons of snapshots every month so I should be able to find something that will work!
