Sydney lost her first front top tooth on Saturday January 12, 2008. Rebecca was pretty jealous that Sydney lost it before she did. The girls’ and I were getting ready to go and drop them off at “Bible Bowl” practice when Sydney told me that her front tooth might be ready to come out tonight. I looked at it and it was definitely loose. I told her we would wait until later after dinner and then try to get it out. Later while dinner was cooking she asked if she could try to pull it out so Tami gave her a paper towel to grab it and she tried to pull it out. She could not quite get it and so she let Tami try it. Tami took the paper towel and grabbed the tooth, gave it one good yank, and it was out. Sydney was so excited that it was out that she had to go run in the bathroom to look at it. She looked so cute with the missing tooth and she had that little whistle when she talked and said certain words.
Cory and I went to the doctors and he is on antibiotics for an ear infection, they put him back on the nebulizer, and also put him on a 5 day dose of steroids to help him knock out the congestion and wheezing in his chest.
Cory had his “Potty Party” on Jan. 10th. Tami made him a special cake that he could have with out egg in it. We also got 3 big balloons, a couple of books, a bunch of new under-wear, and a bunch of candy for him. We decorated the kitchen table with all of it and then had him come up and see it. He loved it and wanted his cake and candy right away. He was also very excited that he got ‘big boy’ under-wear like Caleb.
You can see pictures of the cake and items for Cory’s ‘Potty Party” and Sydney’s missing tooth here.

UPDATE: On Saturday, January 19th, Sydney had Tami pull out another one of her teeth. This time it was one of the front bottom ones again. Now she has a top tooth missing and a bottom one just below it is missing.
