Now the front tooth gap is complete! Here’s the tooth before ballet class….
…and here’s the smile after Nutcracker rehearsal. I have to admit, I’m surprised she managed to keep her tooth in there all day!
But, the poor thing really did lose her tooth. She took some time to write a note to the tooth fairy just before we headed up to bed. When I asked if she’s finished it, she pulled it out of the box and showed it to me, but then suddenly, the tooth was not in the box! Tom, Dylan and I spent a fair amount of time combing the carpet for her tooth, but to no avail. Cameron was heart-broken. It was one of those moments when I realize that she is still 7! She was so worried that the tooth fairy wouldn’t come! Just after lights out (she was still crying)and I reminded her that we’ve heard stories of kids swallowing their teeth…so, you know, this can’t be the first time that the Tooth Fairy has encountered a note without a tooth! She seemed to take some comfort in that…and I hope we still find that tiny little nib of a tooth!!!
