Daughter #1 lost her first tooth.
She lost it at school this morning, and they gave her a cool little tooth-box necklace -- very smartly taped shut. Upon her coming home, there was lots of exploration of the tooth -- then right before bedtime she leaned over the sink in the bathroom to brush her teeth, and noted that the box was open and the tooth was gone! She was SURE it went down the sink... dutifully, we took the sink apart -- no luck.
No water had been run. I began to suspect that the tooth had NOT gone down the sink.
Good news -- tooth found on the dining table! She must have put it there just after this photo shoot, before she went to brush her teeth.
But, I did get to have a good conversation about it NOT being the old, little tooth that was important... the tooth fairy comes to bless the NEW, BIG TOOTH! (Yes, it is already there -- in fact, both big front lower teeth seem to be coming in pretty far back there... in the photo you can see the hole in the front, and the new tooth there already.)
Still, the little gal wanted the MONEY that the tooth fairy is going to leave. Oy, the tears, the turmoil, the joy!
To be a parent... it is one of the toughest jobs I will ever love.
