http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/TwinZebra/25834 My daughter finally lost her baby teeth today. First time. Two came out the same day. This would have been an event even if a small crisis had not made this particular rite of passage critical. K. is my oldest, so it's my first time ever doing the whole tooth fairy thing. I've got a little treasure box for the one tooth K.'s kindergarten teacher was thoughtful enough to save for me. The other one is, presumably, somewhere out on the playground. But what made this even more special was...well...check out the picture. As you can see, for the last month or so, my daughter has had TWO rows of bottom front teeth. The baby teeth weren't budging and the adult teeth were ready to come up, so they just poked through where they could. Remember the movie &quot;Alien,&quot; when the drooling space monster hovers over Sigourney Weaver, opening his mouth to reveal another mouth inside? That was my K. I totally freaked out when I first noticed this, but the dentist assured me this happens all the time, and the permanent teeth eventually would manauver themselves into the proper place once the baby teeth were out of the way. No braces necessary. For now, though, K.'s got a pretty weird smile. Two gaping, bloody holes in front of two displaced, oversized adult teeth. How weird is that? &nbsp; My daughter finally lost her baby teeth today. First time. Two came out the same day.
