Claire just got her first loose tooth!  It’s a bottom tooth near the front.

Claire is so excited about this.  It’s the first thing she tells everyone.  Claire has been watching her classmates lose their teeth for the last couple of years wondering when it would happen to her, and now she’s really in the big kid club.

Molly says that she will probably be getting her loose tooth any day now too.

As a side note, I just had a gum grafting done on my own mouth, so I have to be a little careful about which part of my mouth I chew with.  Now loose-tooth Claire gets to join in the weird-eating club.
