I asked Caroline what she wanted to name this post. She came up with "The Big Gap," which sounds like the name of a Raymond Chandler novel, so that's what we are calling it.
Caroline lost one of her front teeth last night. It was pretty dramatic there for a while. Susan and Caroline tried to pull the tooth themselves. Susan even provided me with up to the minute hand-written news bulletins. I finally convinced Caroline to let me pull the tooth for her. It was getting to be a little disgusting looking. She was very brave through the whole ordeal.
I know it's silly to get all sentimental about a six-year-old losing a tooth. It happens to a bajillion kids everyday. However, after what we went through with our middle kid last year, it is gratifying to see her old enough to start losing her front teeth. Caroline really had us worried last winter and spring. Losing that tooth does make me feel a little sad too, because all three girls are growing up so fast.
Now I'll stop before I burst into "Soliloquy".
