Typical Munch

Rylynn's tooth has been loose for about a month and we have been talking about it falling out pretty much every day since.  She has been a little terrifed about the whole falling out part.  Today she was eating an apple by Garrett and the next thing I knew Rylynn was panicking and Garrett was asking if her tooth fell out.  He said she had gasped so he turned to look at her and saw that her little tooth was sticking straight out and he said, "Rylynn, I think your tooth is going to fall out!"  Then she started crying and so he asked if it had fallen out.  That's when I ran up the stairs with the camera and found this.....

My poor little Munchie is so much like me!  She was terrified and cried for awhile mostly because something changed.  The Munch and I are not so great with change.  The funniest thing about it was that we lost the tooth!!  Garrett and I were talking about how loose it was the other night and I was saying that I was worried she would swallow it in her sleep.  I pointed that out to him when we realized that she had actually swallowed it while awake! 

Trying to be brave and put on a happy face.   She was so worried that the tooth fairy wouldn't come since there was no tooth for evidence.  We reassured her that the tooth fairy would understand and we would leave her a note.  That put a smile on her face.  

So what happened (we think) is that she got scared and started crying when Garrett saw that her tooth was about to come out and she swallowed it with the bites of apple that were in her mouth.  Of course the first child to lose the first tooth and we have no tooth to show for it!

 Clearly the jury is still out on whether she is excited/happy or sad about this whole experience:)
