Anyone who knows Marni well enough has undoubtedly been regaled with tales of the appearance of her very first tooth (Born with it. Had it pulled a few days later).
So she's already lost her first tooth. But we don't count that.
For the past few days, her second 1st loose tooth has been wiggling around in her mouth. This morning it got so loose that it was actually pointing straight forward. But it wouldn't fall out.
Marni was staying home today to recover from a cold. So, before I left I told her to make sure her tooth came out today because I was going away for a week on business and I didn't want to miss the big event. She said okay.
Just as Stella and I were walking out of the building to go to school I heard a very excited Marni screaming my name and running down the hall. When she reached me she held out her hand, which held the tooth, and she showed me the new hole in her smile.
She was a very relieved girl.
