We are finishing putting up Christmas decorations and she walks out of her room very calmly and says, "Mommy, look, I lost my tooth." And I was like, "What? Let me see." And sure enough, there was a big hole in her mouth. I said, "Where is the tooth now?" And she said, "I put it in the trash."
I dug it out of the trash (it was little!), and asked her how it came out. She said it just fell out. She said it didn't hurt. She was so calm about it. Me, however? I was kind of in shock. MY BABY lost her first tooth?!? I didn't even have a tooth pillow yet for her. She is 4 years old for goodness sake. She doesn't really even understand the concept of money or the value of coins (she calls everything a penny), although she does know about the Tooth Fairy from her books.
Needless to say, we borrowed Beau's Oklahoma State Tooth Pillow and added Brenley's name to it. We put the tooth in the pocket and had it ready for our Tooth Fairy, who came and visited her in the night. She gave her $5. Brenley was so excited. She is ready to spend her money on a "new toy" she tells me.
So there you have it. Quite an end to a long holiday weekend!
