Lauren's 2nd tooth

My neighbor and I have a carpool to take our two kids to Kindergarten. (They ride the bus home together in the afternoons.) Elizabeth called me on Tuesday mid-morning to let me know that Lauren had left her lunchbox in the van. Not a problem...one of my New Year's resolutions was to have everything ready each night, so Catherine and I were ready for preschool early, and we were able to pick up the lunchbox and drop it off at the Kindergarten before Catherine had to be at preschool.


So...Lauren lost her 2nd tooth on Tuesday at school. Mrs. Mims put the tooth in a baggie and Lauren put it in her lunchbox. Then, she proceeded to leave her lunchbox on the bus when she got home on Tuesday afternoon. She & her friend are the last two kids off the bus each day...how do you lose your lunchbox on an empty bus?

It was not a good lunch box day.

Wednesday was a great day! Lauren got her lunchbox back from the bus driver, tooth intact! (And leftover peanut butter sandwich, etc. - Ewww.) She put her tooth in the special pillow for the tooth fairy and got her gold coin this morning.




(notice the two new teeth coming in BEHIND the other teeth!)

She took her lunch to school today and made it home with the lunchbox. Success!

Funny, Nathan's 1st loose tooth came out just before Lauren's first one...now he has another loose tooth, but it's not out yet. AND, both of his are on the bottom AND you can see the new teeth coming in behind his old ones as well - crazy! And to think these kids are only 12 hours apart in age as well.
