Every Tuesday, Alex Looses a Tooth

As you can tell from this picture, Alex's hole in her teeth has grown. A couple of days ago she noticed that her other front tooth was crooked, then yesterday it was definitely loose. This morning it fell out in the bath tub. Worried that it would most definitely go down the drain (even though the water wasn't draining) we frantically cleared the tub of all the toys and felt around for the tiny pearly white. Makes sense that she would loose them so close together since she got them in so close together.
Since this morning was looking overcast we headed to Eagle Island State Park to take some portrait pictures of Alex and Johnny. While we were there the kids noticed the people swimming and so after pictures we headed home, grabbed our swim suits and a picnic lunch and headed back for some fun in the sun. We were there for quite a few hours and on the way home it was time for her school to post the Kindergartner's class list so we stopped by the school and found out who her teacher will be and who will be in her class. Her two friends she had preschool with are in another class together but she does know a couple of kids in her class so she was happy with that. I think it'll be good, this way she won't be talking to them during class and can visit with them during recess.
Once we got home Alex was feeling tired and her head was a little warm. Too much sun today so she crashed and we'll once again have to wait until the following day to write to the Tooth Fairy and put her tooth under her pillow. She couldn't help but wonder all day what the Tooth Fairy would bring her this time. "Maybe some shiny new dimes and nickels" she says. "Maybe" I say.

Funny that both times Alex lost a tooth, you lost the ACTUAL tooth on the ground, in the bathtub. So funny. Grace dropped hers a few times, too.
I think that you're right about her teeth coming in really close together and that's why they lose them close together, cause that's exactly what I thought with Grace, too. Hers came in really fast and she has lost them super fast.
I love Alex's picture!
