You can handle the tooth!
Every day for the past month, LR has given us “The Tooth Report” including full details of amount of movement, rotation and deflection from the standard tooth position. There’s been a lot of pressure to have it out before school goes back so she wont be the last kid who hasn’t lost a tooth yet. Last Friday, with less than a week to go, she gave it a mighty push and it finally gave way.

Her first wiggly tooth! (December 30th)

After one month...

and a LOT of wiggling... it finally fell out!

LR was very excited to receive a package in the mail yesterday from Double Helix magazine. It turns out that her wonderful Solar System picture won her a prize in the competition!

Dad: This single-parent thing is a piece of cake!
