Lost Tooth

In October Molly lost her first tooth. I didn't get a picture until a couple of weeks later, which is why the tooth is already half grown in. She lost it one Sunday night when we were at Chris's parent's house. She was rough-housing on the bed with Claire and Chris's dad when she banged her mouth on Claire's head and it popped out. The tragedy was that it was nowhere to be found after that. After about ten minutes Chris suggested she say a prayer, and sure enough, about two minutes later I found it in a crack in the bed. The funny thing is, this same sort of thing happened when she lost her second tooth a couple of weeks ago. It was really loose, then we were sitting on the couch watching a movie when she discovered it was gone, and she had no idea when it had fallen out. We scoured the couch with no luck. She wanted to say a prayer, but I actually kind of discouraged her because I knew it could be anywhere in the house, and she may have even eaten it. She persisted, so we stopped and said a prayer. Right after she said she wanted to look under the table, so she and Chris went to the table and Chris found it sitting under her chair. Definitely miraculous if you ask me!

The tooth fairy brought her $1 and wrote her a congratulatory note for her first tooth.
