My little baby girl lost her first tooth today! For days she’d been pulling and poking at it, showing everyone in sight that she was going to lose a tooth. You could see the “I’m a big girl,” look on her face. Last night, at Safeway with La Gringa it popped right out. As the story goes, she showed everyone her toothy grin all the way through the check-out line. Then, politely called back, “Have a GREAT day today!”
This morning, Thing 2 woke up to a gold dollar coin all shiny and beautiful under her pillow. She had written the tooth fairy a letter requesting that the fairy leave the tooth for her to keep, and the fairy obliged.
Coming of age. It’s a wild view from here.
