Umm...
Okay, so my oldest lost a tooth last weekend. And now, the other bottom middle tooth is loose, probably going to fall out tonight or tomorrow.
What. The. Hell?
How many teeth is she going to lose? I mean, granted, she always got them in pairs. The first two were a week apart coming in, and two weeks later she got the two uppers, a week apart. So, is it possible that they will follow the same pattern falling out?
Is my kid going to be missing a zillion teeth at once? Am I going to be cleaning spaghetti sauce off of every freaking surface in my kitchen from all the noodle-through-the-hole-slurping that I'm being subjected to? Huh? Huh?
This is one part in the official parenting manual I must've skimmed.
And! What's up with all the goony faces and weird gestures? I mean, I know I used to annoy the living daylights out of my parents with my facial contortions and protruding tongue, but does my penance have to be so literal? If I have to see my beautiful daughter twisting her tongue sideways and crossing her eyes and making menacing growling noises while waving claws in my direction ONE MORE TIME I'm going to throw down on little miss amateur face maker and show her what SERIOUSLY annoying faces look like.
Because I am an adult, you see, a fine parent and did I mention mature? Yes. I'm very mature.

My daughter lost 3 of her 4 front teeth last year- the weekend before she began kindergarten. Poor kid! They look so different w/o them. I think I cried more then she did:-(

We are allowed to be 'mature' from time to time. My 6 yr old lost her two bottom teeth almost at the same time but when her top teeth were falling out they would take their time until hubby and I got sick of them hanging by a thread and he would hold her down while I wiggled it out. Fortunately it was painless for her.

I can totally sympathize. Darby's were sad and when Morgyn discovered the nifty little tooth fairy she pulled hers out all by herself some are still wiating to come in a whole year later :-) Good Luck!!!

It's OK for parents to vent off. It's cathartic. At least that's what I tell myself when our daughter goes limp to avoid having to go out to the car in the morning.
Nope, they didn't tell us about THAT when we signed up for this parenting gig.

I swear there were a few weeks where my oldest 3 (son 16 months older than twins daughters) were losing so many teeth at the same time that I just put a dollar under pillows each night to cover all my bases.

Bad news, babe. My daughter is eight & the goofy faces only get goofier & more frequent. Some days I just have to say STOP!

The question is: why aren't YOU knocking the teeth and goofy looks off their faces? ...and its fun.
