    Just curious to see how "normal" this is. My daughter lost her bottom teeth within 2 days of each other last week. Tonight she lost one of her top ones. At the rate she is going she will only be eating jello and that will be because that is all the tooth fairy will be able to afford!

    Sounds okay to me -- my dd did something like that too. Did they all come in at once too? Just don't offer her a whole apple or corn on the cob! LOL

    my youngest ds was very late in losing his teeth, and then all of a sudden, he lost 3 within a week! a couple of days later, his sister lost 2! We don't do the Tooth Fairy here, but I was leaving them IOUs under their pillows! Just be sure to get pictures. Those snaggletooth grins are so cute.

    Sounds like our house. My son lost three in one day! That wasn't the case most of the time, tho. I can say for him that his permanent teeth are so big compared to his primary teeth that sometimes the new tooth is displacing/replacing two or three baby teeth at at a time. His jaw just hasn't caught up yet. I asked our dentist if she thought we were headed for braces and she said it's still too soon to tell.

    A little girl in my Sunday School class just lost her third tooth in two weeks. She is 7 and her mother thought she was never going to lose one. Now they are coming out so fast!

    lol love the jello :) Sometimes the fall like flies others take years. Don't worry once all the front ones are out the molars are slower :)

    The rate baby teeth are lost has been linked to maturity level. LOL- not even sure what that means in kid development, but thought I'd share ;) you know.. in case anyone ever asks that in Jeopardy question format.. :p

    My ds lost both of his bottom teeth in the same night.. by accident (horsing around) both were already loose though. He was 5. At six, he lost his top two, and they were close together as well (just a few days apart.) Now my dd tends to lose her teeth MUCH slower. She's six and lost her first two over the summer, but she doesn't wiggle them.. ever. So right now one of her top ones is loose but I expect it will be a few months before she loses it, and even longer for the other.
