a shot of val: Snaggletooth Girl

She has lost another tooth. It is her 5th one, but for me this one is pretty exciting because it is one of her top front teeth. I LOOOOOVE it when little kids are missing their top front teeth. Especially when they take their kindergarten pics. She takes school pics on Sept. 16th I am hoping (fingers crossed) that she will lose the other front tooth before then and also that they dont start to come back in before she take school pics! I SOOOOOOO want that to be in her yearbook!

Oh wait! ( light going on realization moment) I put together their entire yearbook (with Kellie) so if the timing is off I could still make that happen.... hmmm

oops! sorry. got distracted by that. back to the story from tonight. Savannah has been a lil snaggletoothed for about a week or so. that tooth just kept hanging in there, but dangling pretty far past her others. Tonight we were having some dinner & dancing. (code for we were listening to music & dancing around while making dinner in the kitchen) Well she got really crazy with her moves and got herself in the mouth with her hand. it started bleeding and i knew it was finally gonna come out. "mom, get the salt water for rinsing while i pull it out!" i love my big girl!

it was so cute. she wanted to take alot of pictures of her front tooth being gone. of course i was more than happy to amuse her. ;-D silly faces and all.

Still my Snaggletooth Girl in this one

and it's GONE!!! See the hole where it was?

LOL! Savannah I can't see your teeth with your mouth closed.

"I think this shows it off good!"

such a happy, smiley girl =D

showing that her tooth is bagged labeled & ready for the tooth fairy. "Mom, I hope the tooth fairy brings me $5 again." me -"i think the tooth fairy might need to be more careful with her money these days like the rest of us..."
