Losing Teeth - aren't they too little for this?

This post goes back to March 13, 2013 - rewind time as it is important to record and I have not yet done so until today....

I am traveling for work today to Naperville and as I sit down to dinner with some co-workers this is the photo that flashes across my phone:


Yes I freaked and did something I never do while at dinner with work, I picked up my phone right then and there at the table and called home to see what had happened! (I normally step away for phone calls to home during dinner!)
Well what happened was Maggie had pulled out one of her teeth and made another loose.  She was trying to open the Tupperware container where we keep the cereal because she could not wait for daddy to get dinner on the table.  Those things are stay fresh for a reason sister - they are hard to open and you should not use your mouth to open them!

I then received this picture:


Much better of my Mags but I could see that it was sore - look how red her gum is!  She was a good sport though, she was actually excited to catch up with Caden on losing her first tooth - just not naturally.  She even ended up beating him by losing her second one before him - it fell out a few days later! 
Very much unlike her brother that tooth immediately went under her pillow.  She could not wait for the tooth fairy to come visit her.

She sounded a bit off when she talked for about two days as she got used to not having teeth and she had to have her teacher Ms. Lauren tell everyone what happened because she did not want to tell them but they kept asking.

My little girl is growing up!  Aren't they too little to lose their teeth?  I think so but I know these little people believe they are big kids and are ready to take on the world in their mind.  Momma would like to keep them small for a while longer but I cannot.  I sure hope God knows what he is doing and guides us as they grow up - he knows we need it!

Congrats my baby girl - you look beautiful without your teeth and are truly growing up right before my eyes.
 

My favorite - Maggie taking her own photo on
Memaw's phone to see how her teeth are growing in!
