Big Day in the Harper House!!

So today was a monumental day - at least for the almost, so very close 6 year old!!  Grace lost her very first tooth!

Her bottom tooth had been a little wiggly for a few weeks now - but nowhere close to coming out, that is until lunch time.  I heated up some pasta for lunch, first off came the Frank's red-hot, after all can't have pasta without Franks, according to Grace.

Next came the Costco size container of parmesan cheese - you know the one, the one with the forever stuck lid, that as a parent I feel it is ok to open with my teeth - but scold Grace anytime her mouth gets close to the top of that thing!!

Well today, unfortunately, I was not on the ball and that container got close to Grace's mouth.  Next thing I know there is a shriek coming from that soon to be 6 year old!  The bottom tooth was gone, now just a hole with some blood - but no tooth!  Literally NO TOOTH!!!  Grace, devastated started searching the counter, the floor, her sister's hand, the dog's mouth, but the tooth was gone.

I know what you are thinking...Did she swallow the tooth?  Or perhaps the tooth is in that very large economy sized container of parmesan cheese?  So be warned, if you come here for pasta and ask for parmesan - you may get a little extra treat!

Grace came up with the wording for this letter all by herself!

Eyes open and mouth open is a difficult concept!
