What a Surprise!

I got home late last night from my time out with my friends, so I didn't see the kids before they went to bed. When I woke up this morning, Pete told me Livie had something to tell me. I tried to get him to tell me, since I'm not the most patient person, but he said he promised Livie she could tell me. Just a short while later, she woke up and comes in my room crying. I noticed through those tears there's a gap in her smile!! She had a fiver in her hand, her tooth in a baggy in the other, and I said, "You lost a tooth!!"

Now, I had NO idea she even HAD a loose tooth! She had told me that she had a loose tooth, but I just figured she was trying to be like her brother and sister and gave no consideration at all that it actually might be loose. I mean, if you know my kids, none of them ever lose their teeth in Kindergarten! Well, she eventually calmed down after Madie told her she was cute without her tooth, but told me that she wasn't going to smile at all today, because she didn't want anyone to know. We'll see if that actually happens or not. I'm sure once her teacher sees the missing tooth, she'll be quite proud of herself. It was just such a surprise!!
