News Flash!!!

The long awaited day has finally arrived. Mary finally lost her first tooth. She was sure she was the last kid in the whole 2nd grade to ever lose a tooth. It all began on Friday when she bit an apple and noticed a little pain. Once it was established that it was in fact a loose tooth all concern was replaced with sheer joy. There were phone calls made, and neighbors notified. Mary wanted to make sure to lose the tooth at school in order to acquire a little treasure box from the nurse. When Monday morning arrived she mustered up all her courage and asked me to try to pull it out. I gave it a little tug and to my surprise it came right out. I honestly thought she might faint at the thought of blood in her mouth, but the excitement won out. Anna being the devoted sister she is, was just as proud as Mary. She asked if we could have a little family party to celebrate the occasion. Mary packaged up her tooth and went straight to the nurses office upon arriving at school. Hooray!!!
