The tooth fairy has been very busy around here. I noticed that Reece had a couple of loose bottom teeth a few months ago, and not soon after that I realized that she also had four loose teeth on top. It scared me a bit at first; I was worried that maybe something was wrong with her gums! But after we visited the dentist in July, he assured me that it was totally normal and mainly happening because she had so many teeth trying to push their way in! You could see the teeth coming in on the top and bottom on her x-rays, and he said her six year molars were trying to come in as well.
Reece lost her first tooth on Father’s Day when she bit into a doughnut. She actually ended up swallowing it! Oops!
Lost tooth #1
The next four teeth all ended up coming out within two weeks of each other in July. It was crazy, and the tooth fairy almost forgot to come a couple of times!
Lost tooth #2
Lost teeth #3 & #4 came out at the same time!
Lost tooth #5
One of her permanent big front teeth on top is about halfway in, and occupying the space of the lost front tooth, as well as one of the side lost teeth. It’s a big one! Her two bottom permanent teeth are about halfway up now as well, too. She’s been a toothless little girl, but the new teeth are right there and ready to fill in! She's still got one more tooth that is currently loose, but maybe we'll get a little break after that. The tooth fairy is going to be broke!

Losing teeth for kids her age are normal, but I understand that losing 5 of them in a short amount of time could come as a shock. Nonetheless, Reece managed to stay beautiful and adorable, despite the missing teeth. I’m sure they’ll grow up beautifully strong and healthy. Thanks for sharing!
