first lost tooth

{this really happened two Sundays ago, but I couldn't find my camera and we were about to be late to church}.

Kosty's church shoes are very wrinkled dark brown leather, and Jer has given them the nickname "brownie shoes." The top of them really do look exactly like a good brownie. So Brayden was pretending to "eat" the brownie when Kosty smacked it out of his mouth, and out popped Brayden's semi-loose tooth! Brayden was a little confused, Jer told him it was his tooth, and he said, "I thought it was a big piece of granola!" It bled quite a bit, but it didn't hurt him, just not quite ready. Oh well, Brayden was absolutely THRILLED, and why? because he doesn't realize that baby teeth are absolutely adorable and white and cute and smooth and perfect and straight...and well, we all know that the adult teeth start out pretty gnarly, a shade of yellow, ridges, large, awkward, crooked. I will certainly miss that cute perfect baby tooth and every one hereafter!
