I don't know why I wasn't expecting it... she's turning 5 in about 6 weeks or so... she got all her teeth in by her first birthday so why wouldn't she start getting adult teeth in soon?
Here's how it all happened... we were in the store when Ada tells me, "Mom, my tooth is falling over and I'm trying to get it straight again." (Inside I start panicking and trying to think of the last time she fell and hit her mouth... then I go... "oh... duh.") So I take a look and tell her she's just losing a tooth because she's growing up so big... I told her it was okay that it was coming out... so she has to tell everyone that we meet... "My tooth is loose! It's coming out!" (the checker, the random man in front of us in line, the lady picking out meat next to us...) I told her not to pull it out til we got home so that she wouldn't lose it... so she spent the next 30 minutes or more with her hand in front of her mouth so that her tooth wouldn't fall out. We got home, she wiggled it out and put it in a bowl to very proudly show daddy when he got home from work.
I have to tell you, I was not expecting this for at least another year or two. Wow, I almost started crying. My baby's losing her baby teeth.
