It's finally happened...

Sebastian lost his first tooth! It feels a little crazy. It's crazy that teeth fall out at all and it's crazy that I can remember those same teeth magically cutting through the gums in the not-so-distant past.

Speaking of which: The first 2 teeth Sebastian got were the two in the middle on the bottom. They both cut at the exact same time in July of 2003. One day he was toothless and the next he was still toothless but there were two tiny indentations in his bottom gum. Now, those same two teeth are the first ones to be loose.

Is that how this works? Or is it just coincidence? Does anyone remember what happened to their kids?

At Riley's last dentist appt. she said that children who get their teeth late often lose them late, and that the first to come in are often the first to go.

Perhaps you should change your name to "Informed Momma".

I have always heard that in late/out late thing too but Stella didn't get her first tooth until she was nearly 11 months (late) and got her first loose one before she even turned 5(early). So I guess she is maybe the exception to the rule or maybe just a freak of nature...
