you can't really tell from this photo
but my zoe lost her first baby tooth!
we knew it was going to happen sooner than later
her bottom tooth has been wiggly for a while now
and the adult tooth was already peeking through
it happened during recess while she was at school
my mom happened to pick her up that day
and happened to nonchalantly mention that zoe had lost a tooth
i on the other hand immediately freaked out
"where's the tooth?!?! where's the tooth?!?!" i yelled into the phone
i was immediately ready to race to the school
and scour the entire playground for my baby's first baby tooth
but there was no need to worry on my part
the "school tooth fairy" aka the school receptionist
had given zoe a necklace with a tooth shaped container to
keep her tooth in
later on that night, she placed her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy
the next morning, she raced into my room
and exclaimed loudly
"mommy! the tooth fairy took my tooth and left me something!"
me: "WOW! what did she leave you??"
zoe: " she must have really liked my tooth because she left me BIG money
and a new toothbrush!!!"
FYI, the BIG money she was referring to was only 10 dollars!!
i hope 10 dollars will always be "big" money for her!
