Becky’s Turn

I keep forgetting to announce that Becky lost her first tooth on Sunday, December 23rd!  The poor thing was very feverish with an as-yet-undiagnosed ear infection, but as she was staggering downstairs that morning, she stopped and exclaimed, “Oh!” and proudly produced her bottom left center tooth (the same one that Susie lost a few weeks prior).  Even though she was too sick that night to care, I gently tucked her tooth inside the pocket of a pillow that my mom had sewn for my sister and me when we were children.  The next morning, she rallied enough to get excited over the sparkly coins that replaced the lost tooth, but it wasn’t until Christmas a few days later that she finally felt like herself again.  Because I didn’t get any in-the-moment pictures of the big event, I had her smile for the camera this week so I could document the occasion (you can see Susie’s finger helpfully identifying the new gap).  Congratulations on entering the big-kid land of gap-toothed grins, sweet Becky!
