Tooth or Dare

A very exciting thing happened in December. My Daffodil lost her first tooth! This is such a funny picture of her. The new tooth was already waiting and ready when the baby tooth fell out. Daphne had been sitting on her couch on my floor watching tv and then she jumped up and said, "I just ripped my tooth out!"



She lost her other middle bottom tooth and then her top tooth started to get wiggly. For a little while, she was Snaggle-Tooth Daphne. I'm sure there's something wrong with giving your kid a nickname like that but sadly enough, that is what we called her for about a week.



Then, all of a sudden, both her top teeth were gone.



All in all, Daphne has lost 5 teeth now and the 6th one is going to be gone any day. And a crazy thing happened yesterday. Daphne realized the tooth fairy has been stashing her teeth in my jewelry box. What kind of a tooth fairy does that? I'm not sure. I guess tooth fairies don't learn about other people's privacy. Daphne knows it's because that silly fairy is living in my jewelry box but we never see her because she hides in the basement when we're awake. We've decided to wrap the teeth in a pretty little sachet so the fairy gets the idea to move out.

Then Daphne and I had a talk about never going in my jewelry box again.
