Courtney's Lost Tooth

Bryan's work party for the families was on Friday.  They always hold this at Veyo Pool and the kids LOVE IT!!  They catch crawdads and get prizes for how large their crawdads are.  Then we eat dinner, catered by Cafe Rio.  After dinner, there is a game of BINGO where the kids win great prizes.  After the games and prizes are gone, and ice cream has been eaten, we swim.

This year, after Courtney had eaten her dinner and was waiting for the games to begin, she decided to eat the mint that was rolled up with her plastic fork and spoon.  She bit into it and then had a very surprised look on her face.  She spit it out and yelled, "Mom, my tooth just came out!"  Yup, it did!!

She was so excited that she told everyone what had happened.  I gave her some tissue to stop the blood and then took her tooth and put it in an empty water bottle for safe keeping.  Ethan was kind of bummed that he wasn't the one to pull her tooth out but he was happy that it wasn't "pulled out" really.   It was king of knocked out by the chewing of the mint.  He was okay after that.

Here is her new smile!
