R's first lost tooth!


It seems that R lost his first tooth. Love that beautiful grin. Here is the story that goes along with the picture, per Molly at GLA.

'Arron lost a tooth yesterday morning. He was so proud and could not wait to show it to Joyce and I. We were elated for him and “wowed” over this big moment in his childhood for several minutes. Instead of quarters the kids get a piece of candy for their teeth… an unusual trade, but they seem to like it. When R saw that Arron had candy, he called him over to help him with his loose tooth. Joyce saw what was happening and tried to intervene, but by the time she got to them the work was done and with a very large, very bloody gummed grin R proudly handed over his tooth and asked for a sucker. '
Check out GLA's website for more of what it going on at the orphanage. Kidz Korner is where this story comes from.
