object044_1 Sophia’s tooth has been loose for a few weeks now and we’ve been watching it. Well...yesterday she was saying how loose it was and it really was quite loose. Then, I thought...wouldn’t it be awesome if she lost her first tooth on Mother’s Day!! :) So...we tried to pull it out and sure enough...it came! :) How cool...just made yesterday even that much more special.

I didn’t have a tooth pillow for her yet or anything designated for her to put her tooth in for the tooth fairy...so I ran upstairs and sewed a quick pillow to match her bedding with a pocket in the front for her tooth. She got her tooth in the pillow pocket and put it under her pillow. Then, she went to sleep.... We had a visit by the tooth fairy last night and Sophia woke up with sparkly fairy dust all over her and some money from the tooth fairy. She also left a note for Sophia that told her she could keep all of her baby teeth and her little tooth was laying safely in a pillow box...

(Sophia heard somewhere that the tooth fairy takes the teeth, so we had to dispel that rumor... :)

We had fun with her losing her first little tooth and look forward to having lots of fun with the rest of her teeth. I’m sure we’ll do it a little differently for the boys...I don’t think fairy dust will be quite as exciting for them. ;)
