The Void in Lindy’s Mouth

About two weeks ago, our lovely dentist told Miss Lindy that her bottom front teeth were loose.  We were certain that he had done so just to give her hope.  You see, many of Lindy’s classmates have lost several teeth… she’s just slow in that regard.

So, we’ve spent the last few weeks hearing about her loose teeth.  To the point of, well, mild annoyance.  And then yesterday, Lindy showed me that she had a legitimately loose tooth.  And we pulled it out.  That’s right, we didn’t have the days of hanging tooth.  Instead, that tooth came out and this little girl simply can’t stop talking about it.  Truthfully, she’s crossed the line from slightly annoying to adorable just by being so absorbed by the void in her mouth.

It doesn’t snow very often here in Nashville; it just doesn’t. Threats are commonplace… actual snow, not so much. I heard someone say today that there’s a “Nashville Snow Effect”. You take the forecasts, divide them by 10, and you get reality. It’s not far off.

So, last night when they cancelled school for today, I was dubious. On this fine occasion, though, they were right. We got actual snow.

And snow is just. plain. fun. I have no better way of sharing that with you than a bit of video. We cruised over to the hill at our next door neighbor’s house and had at it… All the girls feature nicely in the video, as do I in a first person attempt at recording the raw adrenaline that is small hill sledding. But do you know who steals the show? None other than Miss Oakley.

Six down, um, like, 18 or something to go…

Aspen has requested that I note the passing of another tooth from her mouth. It departed this morning from her mouth, and she hopes it departs our home on the Tooth Fairy Express tonight.

We shall see.

For those of you who were concerned, the second of the front teeth has fallen.
