Kids lose teeth. Some a lot later than others. At age 6, a few months from her 7th birthday, Camille lost her first tooth. Lucky, too. She was working on her second set.
Shark jokes aside, it was an ordeal. She fought it for weeks. Susan finally took the bull by the horns and worked the incisor enough to make it bleed. At that point, we thought Camille would be happy to get it out. Wrong. It took Abby, Pippin and me to hold her down while Susan got the sucker out.
Then Camille started laughing!
The child doesn’t like losing body parts. She barely sits still to get her nails clipped. Her umbilical cord took forever to fall off, to the point we were considering surgical means.
She does things in her on time, that’s for sure.
